Of course it doesn't delete them, it makes them all fucking smaller, therefore prone to more stretching when applied to the same surface as a higher res version.
Why on EARTH do you think a term called "hi resolution" exists?
Larger resolution textures with more pixels have more detail IF PAINTED SO. If you've painted a 1024 texture to be very detailed, and apply it to a surface, then you half the image size to 512, and view it on the same surface, notice how it looks worse?
If you paint a hi resolution texture and hope for the scaling down to improve your texture, your stupid.
Wasn't this common sense?
People need to stop being lazy and just paint at the same resolution as they intend and put the proper detail in. If they didn't put detail into spots on a hi res, how on earth do you think that it's going to invent detail for you out of nowhere in the exact same space, while shrinking it?
Really, wow.
