## Description

With easy access to high resolution digital cameras everyone has access to very 
large images. Your users
 are probably uploading them and using up lot of storage
space for you. However these images are hardly ever used.

Lean Media allows you to automatically delete the very large image files after generating
thumbnails. Largest
 thumbnail is saved in place of the original image just in case
you decide to generate thumbnails again.

If the users are kind enough to upload small images Lean Media leaves such images
intact.
