Is it safe to delete original images from backup?
The backups are stored in your server in wp-content/uploads/backup folder.
In some cases, it can take a lot of your disk space.
Generally speaking, it is safe to delete these images. However, there are few important things to have in mind:
- You would not be able to restore optimized images to original
- You would not be able to compress images to another compression level
- You would not be able to generate Next-Gen version without original image in the backup folder
It is highly recommended to download these original images before deleting them and keep them on safe location.
