Thumbnail generation is one-time.  When you generate a 100px thumbnail,
for example, it gets stored in
<wiki>/images/thumb/x/yz/<filename>/100px-<filename>

Subsequent requests for that image _at that size_ are served from this
cache.  It is safe to delete these files too, as they will be
regenerated if necessary.

As for clicking on the thumbnail and getting a resized version, I can't
help you.
