 * hi
    im new to wordpress!
 * when i add an image manually to a post, it creates more than 16thumbnails in 
   the wp-content/uploads/year/month folder! it uses lots of space!
    my original
   image size is about 75kb. all the 16 thumbnails created are above 532kb.
 * under settings- > media
    Image sizes i use are only (Thumbnail size) and (Medium
   size)
 * and i don’t use any kinda of plugins for creating thumbnails!
