    I have recently deleted and regenerated many images on my site, mostly removing the wordpress standard image resolution 1536 and 2048, but after the regeneretaion I have noticed that the backup files are still there.
    How can I delete these files that are no more used on my server.
    they take about 3gb of space

    Hello @raffosan,

    The fastest way would be to perform the deletion via the command line by accessing your site through SSH. Here is an example of such a command:

    find -type f -name “*.bak.jpg” -exec rm -f {} \;

    Alternatively, if your site is hosted with SiteGround you can open a ticket in our Help Desk and we will be glad to assist you with the removal of the backup images.
