  We are just getting started but have already used up 16% of our media allowance. I tried downsizing some photos using the WordPress editor and they became a fraction of their original size but the used storage increased! This seems to be because the system keeps the original large version and gives you the option of reverting to it. I want to delete the originals but there seems to be no option to do so – or is there?

  I posted the same question on someone else’s thread but subsequently thought there would be more chance of getting an answer if I created a more specific thread. It’s not a duplicate thread.
