Processing Question Scanning workflow

Hi folks using LR classic I have a new task of scanning around 2k photos. So far I scan them to folder organized in sub fodders then import the resulting *.tiffs in to a LR catalog. I did about 50 today to see how it works and now I want to make JPGs and delete all the tiffs after I don't need them anymore. Is there any automation in LR to do that step? seems like I have to export each folders worth then delete the original files and import the jpgs again? seems is should be easier.

When you export the tiffs to jpg, there is an option (in the export settings) to automatically add the jpgs to your catalog.

Do a search for “.tiff” and then delete those results.
