[Django]-Django creates another media folder inside media folder

The upload_to=… parameter [Django-doc] is relative to the MEDIA_ROOT. So if you want to store it in a directory uploads in the media directory, you upload this with:

class Product(models.Model):
    # …
    thumbnail = models.ImageField(upload_to='uploads/', blank=True, null=True)

In order to render the URL however, you use the .url attribute [Django-doc], so:

{% if p.thumbnail %}
    <img src="{{ p.thumbnail.url }}">
{% endif %}

The {% if p.thumbnail %} is here necessary to check for NULL/None values.

it’s cause you wrote "upload_to=’media/uploads’"..
from your settings django will create media folder and since you wrote "media/uploads" ,uploads is inside the media folder which is inside main media which was declared in settings. So just write

class Product(models.Model):
…
thumbnail = models.ImageField(upload_to='uploads/', blank=True, null=True)
