Optimize Your WordPress Media Library with Image Cleanup
Image Cleanup is a free WordPress plugin designed to help users manage their media library by identifying and removing unreferenced images. This tool scans the wp-content folder and the database to create a list of images that are not utilized in posts or referenced by scripts, effectively decluttering the content folder. Notably, it can also detect images with incorrect or missing metadata, ensuring you have accurate details for each file.
The plugin offers bulk repair and deletion options, pagination for handling large datasets, and detailed logs for easy review. Users can temporarily move unreferenced images to a backup folder for testing, and if no issues arise, they can proceed with permanent deletion. Future updates aim to enhance functionality further by indexing valid but unused images and generating missing image sizes, making it a valuable tool for WordPress developers and website managers.
