[support] Image derivatives - help needed with cleanup

[Jean Gazis]

I have had similar issues with the image module, or maybe with image import,
where it si doubling up thumbnails and previews but they aren'tactually
there or visible. Is there anything on the Drupal site about this being a
known issue?
