 * WebP Express not storing WebP files in same folder as the originals, but instead
   of that is in /wp-content/webp-express/
 * It looks like you got other plugin that is generating your WebP files?

 * WebP are not available from Media Library as that only compressed version of 
   image. You shall strongly consider using WebP (Preference via EWWW).
 * When correctly set, when browser is available to use WebP, instead JPG/PNG, WebP
   version will be served. This have huge positive impact on Page Speed.
 * If no other Plugin is installed, maybe your hosting provider is using it, but
   doubt that. See if you add one image into media library, and when done, are WebP
   appear automatically in folder (check via FTP). If yes, than there is a plugin
   that creating WebP when you upload new image to Media Library.

 * yes. when any kind of image is uploaded (png or jpg) a copy in webp is created
   in the same folder (checked via ftp). i’v disable any kind of un-necessary plugin
   but it happens every time. it’s very strange and at the moment i don’t know how
   solve it 🙁

 * Also, I think you got your website on siteground, could you check with SiteGround,
   especially in Admin panel is there nothing enabled on their site / cache / wordpress
   optimization that will generate for yourself a WebP image?
 * –edit–
 * As I see you got installed SG-CACHEPRESS hence that probably is responsible on
   WebP generation.
