About this plugin
Media Cleaner: Clean your WordPress!
Gogasys Media Cleaner is the most powerful, all-in-one plugin that helps you clean up your WordPress media library by deleting unused media entries and files, finding duplicate media, and fixing broken database entries.
With an advanced internal trash feature, you can preview and confirm changes before permanently deleting anything. Plus, Gogasys Media Cleaner uses smart analysis to ensure compatibility with specific plugins and themes, ensuring you never break your website layout.
Whether you need to clean up unused images, free up server space, or just keep your media library organized, this is the only Media Cleaner you need!
Advanced Features
- Internal Trash System (Safety First): Safely move unused media to a secure, temporary trash bin before permanent deletion. Easily click “Restore” to recover media if needed!
- Orphaned Filesystem Scanner: Scans your physical /wp-content/uploads/ directory for “ghost” files that are wasting server space but aren’t visible in the Media Library. It safely cleans them up while strictly ignoring all code/system files (PHP, CSS, JS).
- Duplicate Media Scanner: Finds exactly identical files (matching by file size and MD5 hash content) and allows you to easily trash duplicates to free up massive storage.
- 1-Click Database Optimization: Works as a database cleaner by safely removing orphaned postmeta, term relationships, and expired transients left behind by deleted media.
- Deep Scanning Engine: Checks post content, featured images, WooCommerce galleries, ACF fields, Site icons, Widgets, and Theme Customizer Options.
- AJAX-Based Processing: Handles enormous media libraries with millions of files without server timeouts by processing in controlled batches.
- Modern Admin Dashboard: Clean, responsive UI fully integrated into the WordPress admin with dedicated tabs for Scanner, Trash, Filesystem, Duplicates, and DB Optimization.
