I've just looked in my uploads folder and notice there's a small, medium and normal size of every photo I've upload to my blog - even though I only specified the normal size when I was posting an article.
Is there any way to stop WP adding three of every image?

I to get this problem, would love to know what to do to stop it!

From what I can gather in the Settings > Media in the WP-Admin you specify what size you'd like these 3 images. There must be some way to stop this in the actual php code but I wouldn't have the faintest idea where to look!

I had this same problem - I had generated about 2-3 MB in extra image files.
I fixed it by going to Settings -> Media and setting all of the sizes to 0. I also unchecked the "Crop thumbnail to exact dimensions (normally thumbnails are proportional)" box and saved the settings.
I tested this by uploading a massive test image - it did not create a thumbnail or any additional files... so I'm satisfied that this works.
