Delete all .webp images from Uploads directory
-
We started using BunnyCDN image optimizer which automatically resizes the images and delivers the .webp images on the fly.
So we had to delete the ShortPixel Image Optimizer. I couldn’t find an option to delete all .webp files created by this plugin.
Thank you

@audat I have managed to delete all .webp images using SSH.
If you have access to SSH, navigate to /wp-content/uploads and run the following command first
find . -name "*.webp" -type fIt will return all files with webp extension in your uploads folder including sub-directories. If the results look good, finally run this command to actually delete the files.
find . -name "*.webp" -type f -deleteAn alternative way is FTP. If you have only a few hundred web images, you can delete them manually using an FTP client like Filezilla.
Note: Don’t ever think of using FTP if you have thousands of images. FTP is too slow and takes hours/days to delete all images. Whereas SSH literally takes few seconds to do the same.
