I am new to Magento 2 and also new to StackExchange.



I observed that there are so many images generated in cache directory.
Why do I need this?



How can I stop creating these images?



What would be happened if I delete all images in this directory?

          This is not a bug, its a feature of mangento



          When you upload image for product with specific image sizes, like 1200x1200 and you use it on thumbnail with the size 60x60 and small image like 200x200 and large image like 600x600. It creates cache images according to your given size.



          For 2nd question:
          You can stop it by creating. And why anyone wants to stop it, its a feature:
          The benefit of this is, user will not suffer in rendering large size images all over the website, it will show small image or thumbnail image on the web page, and that results with the high performance of the website.



          For 3rd question:
          If you delete images from this directory, then magento will create images again in it when ever someone opens your website it will create images automatically and saved it in cache directory



          Reference of my previous answer on almost same question:
