Media Cleaner

Von Jordy Meow

Beschreibung

Clean your Media Library from the media which aren’t used in any of your posts, gallery and so on. It features an internal trash, moving the files in there temporarily for you to make sure the files aren’t actually in used; once checked, you can trash them permanently. Before using this plugin, make sure you have a proper backup of your files and database. This is the most important step on the usage of this plugin as you can’t trust any file deletion tools. The Pro version of this plugin brings scanning to the /uploads folder and will detect which files aren’t registered in the Media Library, not used in your content and so on. Retina images are also detected and supported, shortcodes, HTML in sidebars and of course your posts, pages and all post types.

A tutorial is available on the official website, here: Media Cleaner.

IMPORTANT

This tool is a knife. Do not use it if you don’t have any backup, or if you don’t know what it does. For backup, I recommend use the excellent service called BlogVault. Such a plugin is difficult to create and to maintain. If you understand WordPress, you probably know why. This plugin does its best to help you. Learn how to use it and you will get awesome results.

DASHBOARD

The files detected as not used will be listed in a specific dashboard. At this point, it will be up to you to delete them. They will be then moved to a trash internal to the plugin. After more testing, you can trash them permanently.

COMPATIBILITY

I am adding support for specific plugins little by little. Currently, I have been working with ACF, Gutenberg, Divi, Fusion Builder (Avada), WooCommerce, Visual Composer (WPBakery), Elementor, and Beaver Builder. Specific checks for Page Builders are being added to the Pro version (as it requires meticulous work and updates).

PRO

Media Cleaner Pro can scan your physical /uploads directory, and match it against the Media Library. It also has extra support for Page Builders.

AGAIN, BE CAREFUL

Again, this plugin deletes files so be careful! Backup is not only important, it is necessary. Don’t use this plugin if you don’t understand how WordPress works.

Rezensionen

Super helpful

Thanks, really nice plugin. I have just one little suggestion for better ACF integration. It seems like the ACF Options Pages are not analysed – not sure if that would be possible to do (or necessary – as there are usually not too many images in the option page) ( just used this the first time today – apologies if that is actually because I missed a setting somewhere )

Powerful tool

Makes identifying unused media much easier, simplifies the task of cleaning up your server. I'm glad I have this tool!

Only way to clean

I have been searching for a plugin that will help clean out all the unused media. This is the best one. The pro version works with visual composer / WP Bakery. We are an online shop that is constantly adding/removing products. Whenever you delete a product it doesn't remove the media so after years of removing products there's a ton of wasted space. This helps free up space on your server!

Godsend

I manage old WordPress websites with thousands of pictures, and over time they added image sizes, changed them, etc, which resulted in countless unused images. Not to mention, often I would have to scold clients who were stealing pictures off Google (if they weren't caught first!), and then those would clutter the wp-uploads once they were changed. Over the years, a lot of these websites were a hassle to migrate just because of the overload of pictures. This plugin lifted a weight off my soul, almost literally. I often contemplated writing my own cleaning script, which is risky in itself and hard to test when there are thousands of pages and posts to check. I used Media File Renamer before (another from MeowApps) to help transfer a French website using accents in their media files, which also saved me a whole weekend of renaming stuff. When I saw Meowapps had made Media Cleaner, I felt it was a Godsend. I used it on two old websites which had all the issues stated above. It took me some time to configure it so I didn't lose anything important, but it really did the job. I bought the premium almost immediately because I wanted to know if I could optimize further. Turns out, it did. Anyhow, I love it. Of course, I had to make & restore backups of the pictures the first couple times, but you should be doing that whenever you intend on deleting anything, so that's totally fine in my book. I can't recommend this enough!

It helps my clear junk pdfs from my media library!

This plugin is very useful! I had deleted all pdfs files from wp-content/uploads using FTP, but the thumbernails were displaying in the media library in my WP Dashboard. So it deleted all the junk pdfs without deleting any important file! Great! Many thanks
