Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview
About this plugin
Ethwebs Media Cleanup keeps your WordPress Media Library tidy automatically. When you permanently delete a post, the plugin scans for its featured image and embedded images, verifies they are not used anywhere else on your site, and safely removes them along with all generated thumbnail sizes.
Key Features
Automatic deletion of featured images and content images upon post purge.
Safeguards shared images (will not delete if used in another post or page).
Keyword & Subfolder protection to protect logos, site assets, and advertisements.
Built-in Existing Orphaned Media Scanner with AJAX batching to handle 30,000+ images without server timeouts.
Chunked batch deletion system with real-time statistics counter and Cancel Deletion support.
Pause and Resume controls for long-running media library scans.
Client-side UI pagination (25 items per page) to ensure smooth browser rendering on massive media libraries.
Flexible selection controls: choose “Select Current Page” for page-by-page cleanup or “Select All (All Pages)” for bulk purging.
Interactive checkboxes for safe manual approval before deletion.
Completely lightweight with zero external dependencies.
