I've got a ImageCache preset to convert the original image (1600x1200) to 800x600 and then create a thumb of 150x130. Images are uploaded via a new content type I've created with CCK, this uses an image field to upload.

The images are being saved in.

../files/imagecache/800x600/
../files/imagecache/thumb/

AND also duplicates in:

../files/
../files/imagefield_thumbs/

Seems like a lot of wasted disk space. Any idea what is going on here?

That is an imagecache question, and it is mostly likely not a bug but the way it is expected to work.

Ok, so if worst comes to worst, can I just delete the files that the image field creates without breaking the CCK content?

Taking a better look at this, I can understand why it saves to ../files , that is the original large file untouched. But why is a thumb auto created (files/imagefield_thumbs/) by the image field and is there a way to disable that in CCK?
