What parameters are used to determine if a image is resized?
After looking at all files in the WordPress uploads directory, a file is determined as resized when three criteria are meet:
- It’s an image
- The file URL is not a main WordPress Media Library file
- The filename ends with
-###-###.
What is this warning about `chmod` about?
The method of deletion only works when the server allows PHP to edit the folders contents. CHMOD is the permission settings for files and folders. If you’ve received a warning of this, the CHMOD on the upload directory is too low.
It says I have no resized images, but I do
Please note this is a new plugin (rewritten summer 2017), this plugin was developed and tested in only two server environments – variables on your setup may of not been considered while developing.

How do I backup my files?
The plugin insists on backups as it removes files permanently, you can ignore and bypass, however you should always backup your WordPress installation
