Description
We have multiple users asking about possibility to delete the original size image after it is resized by WP (v5.3+).
After the process is completed, WP delivers image-scaled.jpg and the original stays on the server which can take a lot of the server space.
It might be interesting to consider the option to delete these originals. An example ticket can be found here.

Research direction
Start by tracing the plugin's image-resizing flow for WordPress 5.3+ and identify where the image-scaled.jpg file is produced. Determine how an optional deletion setting should behave after resizing completes, then verify that the scaled image remains available and the original is removed only when the option is enabled.
