PP 5 added a lot of megebytes to my disk space.

Can anyone else confirm that photopost 5 uses a lot of server disk space.
I jumped from 498 megs to 659 megs after upgrading. That is an increase of 161 megs.
Has anyone noticed this and is it normal.

hi..

I don't think that PP5 would have created another 161 megs out of mini-thumbs or other thumbs (which was my first thought)...are you on a windows server? - if so maybe this might have occured with the duplication of files within the '_vti_cnf' directory , even so thats a negligible amount of space...

I would say that there are duplicate images within your install/data directory which can be safely removed.

There is nothing showing in my _vt_cnf file.

Ok I look in my data directory and look in my 500 folder and I got 3 folders, medium, mini and thumbs. also in this main 500 folder with the 3 folders I got a bunch of thumb images.
In the thumbs folder I got the same.
So it seems I do have duplicates but not sure which ones to delete.
In my other folders I have regular images and the same three folders. thumbs, medium and mini.
I can give access if you can have a look for me and see what happened during this upgrade that I gained so many megs and its got to be with duplicate images I think.
