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.

WP PlugIndex currently records PRBLEM Sweep version 1.6.0 as active, updated 1mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
PRBLEM Sweep is a conservative WordPress maintenance utility built around a simple rule: understand first, classify risk, and never silently treat ambiguous data as disposable.
PRBLEM Sweep builds on Recovery Guard, Duplicate Media and Autoload Inspector with five focused maintenance areas:
Cleanup Rules — configurable boundaries for revision retention, stale auto drafts, trashed posts, spam comments and trashed comments. Rules only narrow candidate sets; they never promote REVIEW data to SAFE.
Cron Inspector — read-only WordPress Cron visibility with cautious naming signals when a hook resembles a plugin observed being removed. Cron is never unscheduled automatically.
Plugin Leftover Intelligence v2 — pre-delete snapshots now include options, transients, tables, post meta keys, user meta keys, WordPress Cron hooks and active Action Scheduler hooks. All residue remains PROTECTED and inspection-only.
Never Touch Guards — explicit owner protections for database cleanup categories, media attachment IDs, option names, tables and cron hooks. Database authorization and media actions check guards at action time.
Before / After Reports — database cleanup actions record bounded candidate counts and database-footprint estimates before and after cleanup. Storage-engine allocation may remain stable even after rows are correctly removed.
Existing safeguards remain:
Database cleanup creates bounded recovery points before removal and stops when a required snapshot cannot be stored.
Duplicate media scanning uses SHA-256 and never treats duplicate bytes alone as permission to remove an attachment.
Possible unused and duplicate media are re-checked immediately before being moved to WordPress Trash.
Autoload inspection remains read-only.
Naming similarity is evidence, not proof, so plugin residue deletion stays locked.
Compact workspaces keep the page short:
Overview — Quick Sweep and a small intelligence queue.
Database — Candidates / Cleanup Rules subviews.
Media — Possible Unused / Duplicate Files subviews.
Leftovers — compact removal history plus a collapsed seven-area residue inspector.
System — Storage / Autoload / Cron / Never Touch / Recovery / Reports subviews.
