Ok thanks :).

I also figured that for images inside posts (I often use about 5 images inside a post) I can use 700 pixels.

Alright so no update :).

Worked like a charm. Easier than expected. Thanks!

Ok not using the gallery, thanks!

Ok thanks for the quick update. And I was confused I am using Newspaper 4.5d it was my text that was wrong:).

This is a downside of WordPress. WordPress should not generate thumbs for formats unused.

My personal workaround is using a script to delete all custom formats (based on the 745×483 extention). You can do this on Linux (vps) or download them all and then use run a Windows .bat file like this:
del *-150x*.jpg
del *-160x*.jpg
del *-240x*.jpg

After that you can re-upload the files that were left “alive”. For me this reduces my storage used by about 70%. This is usefull if you keep daily, weekly and monthly backups of your website.

Now the issue: You will have to regenarate thumbnails for ONLY the featured images. So far I have not found a plugin that can do this AND respects the latest WordPress top,center commands. So I end up manually regenerating the images assigned to each post from the media library. So this can take a few hours.
