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
Is your server storage full of unused images and leftover thumbnails?
Gerdoo Orphan Media Cleaner is a tool designed to clean your WordPress media library and physical /uploads/ directory.
🚀 Key Features
Deep Database Scanner (Orphans): Finds images that are registered in your Media Library but are unused in posts, pages, WooCommerce products, Elementor, or ACF fields.
Deep Filesystem Scanner (Ghost Files): Directly scans your physical /uploads/ folders to find leftover thumbnails and images that the WordPress database doesn’t know exist.
Safe Physical Trash Bin: Files deleted from the host are sent to a secure, physical Trash Bin ( /gw-trash-bin/ ). You can restore them to their exact original location with a single click!
Optimized Processing: Built with OOP architecture and Cursor-based Pagination. It processes files in smart batches via AJAX, allowing it to scan databases with many images on shared hosts smoothly.
Deep Parser Engine: Smart analysis of JSON strings (Elementor), serialized arrays, and shortcodes to effectively identify used media.
