About this plugin
Sajib Media Cleanup & Storage Manager is a WordPress media cleaner that helps administrators audit unused media, duplicate images, orphan files and stale generated thumbnails before anything is permanently removed. It builds a reference index across WordPress content and metadata, supports Elementor, ACF and WooCommerce workflows, identifies preliminary unused and duplicate-unused media, and applies multiple verification steps before cleanup.
Because WordPress sites can include third-party or dynamically generated references, no automated scan can guarantee that every possible media reference is discoverable.
Key features:
- Reference-aware Media Library audit.
- Exact second-pass cleanup plans before destructive operations.
- Final live verification immediately before cleanup.
- Safety Vault delayed-purge hold with cancellation and fresh verification before permanent deletion.
- Duplicate-unused detection using file hashes.
- Orphan-file discovery within standard WordPress date-based upload folders.
- Media Family inspection for original, generated and optimized variants.
- Stale derivative auditing with current-reference protection.
- Incremental scan fingerprints, storage insights and audit history.
- Background jobs designed to work reliably in shared-hosting environments.
Sajib Media Cleanup & Storage Manager does not treat an unattached image as automatically unused. Candidates must pass the plugin’s verification workflow before they can become cleanup-ready.
