   I have an image. Lets say its pot.jpg
   In my uploads folder i see

   pot.jpg 166x166
   pot.jpg 300x300
   pot.jpg 700x700

   etc. I prefer not to have all this unnecessary images filling up my disk space. I initially thought it only takes the first image of a post and creates a thumbnail. Not duplicates in different sizes.
   All i want is a simple 166x166 thumbnail. Not 1 petabytes of images i don't use. Anyone know of a way to stop this?

   Turns out its a wordpress thumbnail feature that automatically generates the additional size images, which you may not need. I had to use a new function to disable that.

   Can you tell me how you did that? What function did you use? Thanks

   This info should be helpful to you:

   QUOTE:

   I believe the following should stop thumbnails from being created. If you're wanting to remove some then and unset the $size[{size}]. Following sizes are there "thumbnail","medium","large","post-thumbnail".

   add_filter('intermediate_image_sizes_advanced','stop_thumbs');
   function stop_thumbs($sizes){
   return array();
   }
