 * My thumbnails was disabled
 * I activated 2 sized only and reached 22% thumbnails regeneration but didnt continue
   the process …
 * Starting again will ignore old generated ones? generate new and keep old? or 
   will delete old ones?

 * Hi [@samysalahgad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/samysalahgad/)
 * Thank you for reaching out to us and sorry for the inconvenience.
 * When you regenerate thumbnails in **ThumbPress**, the behavior will depend on
   the settings and configuration you have chosen in the **Disable Thumbnails** 
   module. If the previous process (22% progress) of thumbnail regeneration was 
   saved, the regenerating process typically won’t delete them and will continue
   regenerating thumbnails for the remaining images according to your settings, 
   ignoring the ones already processed. If they were not saved, **ThumbPress** will
   regenerate them from the beginning according to your settings in the** Disable
   Thumbnails** module.
 * We recommend double-checking your **ThumbPress** settings under the **“Disable
   Thumbnails”** section to confirm which image sizes you want to keep and which
   you want to remove. After that, you can regenerate your thumbnails using the **“
   Regenerate Thumbnails”** feature.
 * Additionally, we’d like to inform you that we have just released **ThumbPress
   version 5.7.3**. This update includes performance improvements to optimize the
   thumbnail generation process. We highly recommend updating to the latest version
   to ensure you get the best experience and any bug fixes.
 * If you need any further clarification, feel free to reach out, and we’d be happy
   to assist!
 * Thank you!
 * Best regards,
   Nazifa Bhuiyan

 * In this case I mean the same enabled size, disabled ones not regenerated
 * I talk here about the enabled size

 * Hi [@samysalahgad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/samysalahgad/)
 * If you restart the thumbnail regeneration process in **ThumbPress**, it will 
   continue where it left off and generate thumbnails only for the sizes that are
   enabled. Thumbnails that have already been created for those sizes will not be
   deleted or regenerated. The process will bypass the existing thumbnails and generate
   new ones only for the images that haven’t yet been processed.
 * Make sure to verify your settings to ensure you’ve enabled the correct sizes 
   before starting the regeneration process again.
 * Best regards,
   Nazifa Bhuiyan
