I am using Paperclip to, among other things, allow a registered user to upload an avatar for use on thier profile. I want to store a big and small version of the image which will be rmagicked to standard sizes. Now, what i want to do, is store these two standard sizes (:normal and :tiny, for example.) but I do not want to store the :original.
This will be nice for several reasons as I will never display or use any version than the two standard (re)sizes.
What is your reasoning for wanting to delete the files? File storage is so cheap now, that it’s not really a valid reason anymore.
I would advise against deleting the original files. If you ever decide you want to resize the files using Paperclip’s rake tasks, you will need the originals.
