WP Media Cleanup

WordPress can create multiple image sizes for media files, and some variations may remain in the library after they are no longer used. WP Media Cleanup scans posts, pages, widgets, and custom fields to find image size variations that are not in use. This gives site owners a way to review potentially unnecessary files and free up disk space while leaving original full-size images intact.

After scanning, you can remove flagged variations one at a time or in bulk. Safety checks and confirmation prompts help you review deletions, and recovery options let you restore deleted images if needed. WP Media Cleanup suits site owners and people maintaining WordPress media libraries who want to clean up unused image files without removing their original images.
