How to Delete one of my Picture Sizes? from all current exhibitions

[EricKonieczny]

To save server space in the long run, I have decided to delete one of my Image sizes since I currently have 3 sizes available or viewing.


I currently have 800, 600, and 300 at the longest side.


Can you delete one of the sizes from all the galleries, and then delete the one Resize method from the editor? I just haven't decided if I am going to delete the 800 or 600 size

Is this possible, if so how?

Thanks

you just need to browse (ftp or otherwise) to the path of the photosize you no longer want and delete it!

If I delete the folder, and then delete the Image Resizer in the EDITOR, that will work?


I just want to make sure I have no broken image links , in the "Select Image Size" drop down box or mess up my EE all togther.

I will make sure to do a backup before also.


Thanks



Pekka is this information correct, I want to make sure?

To remove the size XXX from all photos, go to path editor and delete the size path(s) referring to size XXX (use override switch if needed). This will remove the size from all photos in database. Then, use normal ftp to delete the XXX folder(s) from server. This will remove the files physically.

Other way is to remove files of size XXX from server, and then use "find size paths" tool to rebuild size selections for photos. If you have "custom" size selections for each photo those are lost with this automated tool.

Third way is to go through each photo in photo editor and deselect the size XXX and save. Then remove the file from server.

Resize method works only on upload. Deleting it afterwards does not affect anything (in path editor resize methods referring to it reset to "none").

Thanks Pekka,


It worked perfectly without any errors or problems.


3000MB sounds like allot of space when I first ordered web hosting, with uploading around 200 photos a month, it will be used up within a year.
