 I have just spent my morning cleaning up over 400,000 unused image sizes
 taking up over 14Gb of disk space on my site. This comes from both
 WordPress & WooCommerce not cleaning up after thumbnail sizes have been
 changed in the past. I am luckily an advanced user and able to do this via
 the command line but I really feel for the average user who is paying a
 premium for hosting to host a plethora of images that are old and never
 used. Wordpress & Woocommerce really need to look at cleaning up after
 themselves.
