Media Cleaner Pro

Overview

Media Cleaner Pro is aimed at WordPress sites whose uploads directory has accumulated unused images, documents, thumbnails, or files left behind by older content. It approaches the problem from two directions: one scan examines Media Library entries and their references, while another compares files in the uploads directory with WordPress records. That makes it more suitable for established sites than a simple bulk-delete tool, particularly where page builders, custom fields, widgets, or theme settings may reference media outside ordinary post content. The internal trash and restore workflow provides a review step before permanent deletion, but it is not a substitute for a current backup. The documentation also warns that unsupported plugins or unusual usage patterns can produce incorrect results, and large or complex installations may encounter timeouts. Owners should keep relevant builders enabled during analysis, inspect flagged files individually, and validate the site on staging before committing cleanup. Multisite users should also plan to run the tool separately on each site rather than treating the network as one shared scan.

Compatibility and setup context

• The documentation lists compatibility with page builders and plugins including Elementor, Divi, Avada, WPBakery, Beaver Builder, Brizy, Oxygen, Slider Revolution, ACF, and Meta Box; verify the exact versions and integrat
• WordPress Multisite is supported, but the tool must be run independently on each site rather than from the network master.
• Complex sites may experience timeouts or errors; the documentation recommends checking PHP logs, adjusting scan settings, and keeping relevant page builders and media plugins active.
• WP-CLI can be used for manually scheduled background scans, while continuously running scans and deletions through routine background tasks is discouraged by the documentation.
