Hello, can I safely delete images in components/com_flexicontent/uploads/ folder? Those images are copied to stories directory too, so I don't need a duplicate in another folder.
Will this arm the website somehow?

Thanks very much :-)

Hi,

I think these images can be used when you specify a specific size for thumbnails (like in blog category parameters; when you don't use small, medium or large parameter).

May be some modules (aidaNews, ...) use this image sources to generate thumbnails with specific parameters.

Anyway,
Copy-paste all the images in another folder and see...

Regards

Hello,

I tried removing the images from this folder because it is adding over 1GB of space - lots of images. It produced this error:

Original file seems to have been deleted, cannot find image file: /home/infoboc/public_html/components/com_flexicontent/uploads/1_1-4.jpg

screencast.com/t/LELZhT5eUXK1

So the pictures work great when I look at the thumbnail, rokbox blowup, etc which means they are not needed for the display on the front end. For now, I'll restore my pictures, but I would like to figure out a way to delete these duplicates if possible without producing an error on the front - end.

Thanks,

Dawn
