Media Cleaner
Media Cleaner is a versatile plugin designed to streamline the WordPress media library by eliminating unused files and repairing faulty entries. It includes an internal trash system, allowing all changes to be reviewed and confirmed before permanent removal. Intelligent scanning ensures smooth operation with various themes and plugins.
When paired with Database Cleaner, it delivers an even more complete optimization process.
