Media Cleaner Pro

WordPress sites can collect images, PDFs, and other files that are no longer referenced. Media Cleaner Pro checks the Media Library for unused items and can scan the uploads folder to find files without matching media entries. Its analysis also checks posts, metadata, widgets, and other places where files may be referenced.

The plugin includes an internal trash area where you can review files before removing them permanently. A live site scan can check file usage in real time, while WP-CLI support lets developers run cleanup tasks from the command line. Its analysis of custom fields and content structures helps account for sites using page builders and complex plugins.
