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. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records Delete Thumbnails version 2.2 as active, updated 9y ago and tested up to WordPress 4.8.
Overview
About this plugin
Delete thumbnails & resized images from your Media Library
Delete some or all of WordPress’s resized images (thumbnails, medium, and large, plus extra ones Plugins/Themes make secretly)
This can clear thousands of unwanted files from your uploads directory
Useful if you’ve had lots of different theme/plugins over the years, and inadvertently accumulated a vast number of resized images that are no longer used by your site
Take careful note
Deleting is permanent
You can use this plugin to regenerate your Media Library after (as WordPress will need the default sizes)
Please Note
🍺 This is a recently revived and re-written plugin, the bad reviews were correct for the old versions, but not current version. If you experience any issues, please open a support request, I’m happy to help fix any issues and help plugin grow.
Road Map
The current todo list
[ ] Add css animation/color to nag inputs when clicking disabled button
[ ] Add count($this->library) result as ‘exempt’ in main info banner to assure Media Library items are safe
[ ] Add size range filters (ie: delete resized that are within x – y restraints)
[ ] Make View link work off of a Lightbox instead of a new browser tab
[ ] Please add any additional requests into the Support tab.
