thumb and thumbnail are alias and are exactly the same.

The full size image is the original image. So, if you delete it, all image sizes derived from the original image will be deleted too.

Great post!
But like harjeet ask, is there a way to delete the “full” size image?
I only want to use my custom sizes.
Thanks

Whta do you mean by “full size thumbnail”? Are you referring to the “thumbnail” size or the “full” size?

Hi,
No, I don’t think there is a way to do this using the filter shown in the article. You’ll have to dig into wp-admin/includes/image.php and see if there’s a way to access the ID of the post that you are editing.
If anyone has any suggestions, chime in!

Is there a way to have this work but for just a custom post type? I would like to disable some image sizes that were added to a theme, but that are not necessary for a specific post type.

Thanks. Great article!

Hi,

Check your theme’s functions.php – it may be adding its own image sizes.
