WooCommerce CSV Image URL Creates Additional Images in Media Folder

I upload all images through the Media Library Drag and Drop Uploader with no problems. Every time I use a CSV file with several thousand products, I enter the image url for each product, which is located in the Media Library. Example: /wp-content/uploads/2018/08/oa901-essence-1oz.jpg

As a result, the product page uses the image with the added -1 instead of the original or even a thumbnail of the original. Then when I download all of the products, the image url has the added -1 to the end of the image file name. I can't figure out why this is happening and how to fix it. I tried deactivating almost every plugin, even manually uploading single products, but it still does the same thing. I can't use the images with the added -1, or -2, or -3, or -4, because those images do not display in the Media Library. Any Ideas?

Attached are some screen shots.

If the images are already uploaded to the WordPress Media, use the file names of the images instead of the full URL.

As mentioned in the WooCommerce documentation

Enter the image URL or file name. The importer will look in wp-content/uploads/year/month where year/month are the year and month in which the import is run.

When you upload any image on media library Wp resize it in all thumb dimensions to have multiple dimensions of same image. For example on woocommerce shop page by default will be visible resized products featured images because of images weight. If full dimensions images e.g. 1200x1200 px would be displayed on a page with 36 products on a div with 300x300 dimensions that page would uselessly weight a lot consequently reducing page load speed.
