Plugin generates both jpg and png versions of all sizes and keep them
-
So i uploaded a picture named DarksidersPC.png, i have this setup to convert png to jpg and it did but it also created all versions of the png image and kept both versions of everything so now i have in my uploads directory:
DarksidersPC.png
DarksidersPC-1.jpg
DarksidersPC-1-150×150.jpg
DarksidersPC-1-150×150.png
DarksidersPC-1-238×178.jpg
DarksidersPC-1-238×178.png
DarksidersPC-1-300×160.jpg
DarksidersPC-1-300×160.png
DarksidersPC-1-80×60.jpg
DarksidersPC-1-80×60.pngOn the media library only DarksidersPC-1.jpg exist, which is correct. BUT on the uploads folder the PNG version+all the thumbnails in .PNG format exist. Shouldn’t the plugin
1st) Convert the original png to jpg.
2nd) Create all the thumbnails for JPG version ONLY!
3rd) Delete the original PNG version.
Have a look:

As you found, original uploads are only deleted (after conversion) when “Delete originals” is checked. There isn’t any way that I know of to bulk delete them later. If you have some programming ability (or know someone who does), you could parse through the attachment metadata in the wp_postmeta table of your database, and look for ‘orig_file’ entries and delete those.
UPDATE: just to clarify, by “delete those”, I mean delete the actual file referenced by the ‘orig_file’ entry, after which you are free to remove the ‘orig_file’ items from the meta.
