 * I’m doing some tests of cleaning files and freeing up disk space in wordpress.
   I uploaded hundreds of unoptimized image files to perform such a test. As a consequence
   I was left with just over 1 GB in the uploads folder. however after i delete 
   these files and check in wordpress diagnostics again, the size remains the same.
   Do you know what it could be?
 * Note: when checking in the file manager the folder actually decreased in size.
   Different from what is shown in the wordpress diagnostics about disk space.

 * When you say `wordpress diagnostics` what are you referring to?
