I have a simple question about the media library, but as it is important for me and tricky to test it properly (I have so many products) I prefer to just ask it here to be 100% sure.
I have a store with many thousands of products, that I import from elsewhere. Most of the time when I sync, it’s just a minor update of the product data, but once in a while I will want to delete the entire product collection and reupload it fresh.
I’ve noticed that the product images are transferred from their original URL into the Media Library and the products source them from there.
Here’s my question: If I delete and reupload all of my products, is it important that I wipe the whole Media Library? Does WooCommerce recognise images that are already in it, or would it recopy them into the media library and leave me with thousands of duplicate images?
