Problem: You are experiencing issues with duplicate media files after running a wizard, concerned about hosting storage, database fragmentation, and seeking a way to efficiently translate large amounts of text without incurring high costs. Solution: First, we need to identify the wizard that caused the duplication of images. It's crucial to understand the specific process to address the root cause of the duplication. If the duplication is related to the WPML Media Translation plugin, ensure you are using the latest version of the plugin. For large-scale translations without high costs, consider adjusting the automatic translation settings to better manage your translation points or explore bulk translation options that might be more cost-effective. If manual deletion of duplicate data was performed, verify that this has not affected the integrity of your database.
If this solution does not fully resolve your issue or seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If further assistance is needed, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
