[wp-hackers] Set a unique directory for uploads

[Gaarai]

There isn't a direct way to remove these additional images. However, 
there is a filter that you can hook into in order to clear out the array 
that stores the possible sizes. That filter is intermediate_image_sizes.

This filter is used in the wp_generate_attachment_metadata() function 
inside wp-admin/includes/image.php. By default, this filter passes along 
an array, $sizes, with the following definition:

$sizes = array('thumbnail', 'medium', 'large');

After this array is filtered, it is gone through one item at a time in 
order to generate the resized images. You could simply hook into the 
intermediate_image_sizes filter and return an empty array:

add_filter( 'intermediate_image_sizes', 'remove_intermediate_image_sizes' );
function remove_intermediate_image_sizes( $sizes ) {
    return array();
}

This could simply be added to your functions.php file in the theme. I 
tested it this way, and it worked perfectly.

However, you should note that if you do this, every place WordPress uses 
the thumbnail, the complete image will be used instead. This means that 
if you load up the Media Library page, every image shown on that library 
page will be downloaded and shown. This may or may not be a problem for 
you, but you should be aware of it.

It should also be noted that this does not make the Thumbnail, Medium, 
and Large options disappear from the "Add an image" media uploader. It 
simply disables their radio buttons.
