You need to look inside the database and determine what causes it to grow. Is it data, if so, what tables. Or is it log? Etc. I never recommend doing shrink on regular basis, instead you should allow the database be the size it need to be.

And the .MDF Database files takes just a small part; instead of shrink database better delete/move the JPG's

That means that shrinking the database files won't give you any benefits (but still all disadvantages). Instead you need to work on that it is that uses all that disk space! Apparently jpegs.

I cannot tell you whether to delete or not, you have to consult your team members and find out and take necessary action. I would never shrink DB for 2G space
