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 MediaSleuth version 1.0.0 as active, updated 3mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.0.
Overview
About this plugin
MediaSleuth helps administrators identify media files that are not being used anywhere on the website. It works with any installed plugin by scanning all posts, custom post types, post meta, term meta, user meta, comments, widgets, theme options, wp_options, menus, and serialized/JSON data from page builders and third-party plugins.
Key Features:
Comprehensive media usage detection
Safe delete with 30-day trash retention
Batch processing for large sites (10,000+ media files)
Real-time scan progress
Storage analytics
CSV export
Scheduled scans with email reports
Bulk actions (delete, restore, rescan)
Safety First:
Files are never permanently deleted immediately. When deleted, files are moved to a plugin trash folder and can be restored within the retention period. Files that cannot be confirmed as unused are marked as “Possibly Used” instead of “Unused”.
