I have several question about images storage/processing

1. I have two folders  
/var/discourse/shared/standalone/uploads/default/original — 9GB in my case  
../3X  
../2X  
../1X  
/var/discourse/shared/standalone/uploads/default/optimized — 4GB in my case  
../3X  
../2X  
../1X

Is there way to keep **only** optimized images?

1. Does folder  
/var/discourse/shared/standalone/postgres\_data/base  
store the same images as folders above?

2. Is there any Discourse settings for storing images in lower quality?

3. Is there any client-side image optimization to make it lower size?
