Files are moved to a quarantine folder before deletion, so you can restore anything that turns out to still be in use. Page builder support, WooCommerce detection, and custom field scanning are all included with no feature gating. #### Quarantine Files are not deleted directly. They are moved to a quarantine folder where they remain for a configurable retention period (default 30 days). One-click restore brings the file back to its original location with all thumbnails intact. After the retention period files are automatically deleted, or you can clear the quarantine manually at any time. #### Scanning The scanner runs in two phases. First it collects every media reference it can find: post content, featured images, page builder data, WooCommerce products, custom fields, widgets, site options, and theme files. Then it compares every file in the Media Library against that list. Anything not found in any source is flagged as unused. Scans run in batches with resource monitoring and can pause and resume, so they will not crash your site. #### Page Builders Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, WPBakery, and Bricks. Detects images used in widgets, modules, backgrounds, templates, and saved layouts. Builders that are not installed appear greyed out in the scan sources list. #### WooCommerce Product featured images, gallery images, variation images, category and tag thumbnails, and downloadable files. #### Custom Fields ACF, Meta Box, Pods, JetEngine, and Toolset Types. Image, file, gallery, and media fields in post meta, term meta, user meta, and option pages. Repeaters, groups, and flexible content layouts are walked. #### Other Filter by file type, size, or upload date. Bulk actions for cleanup. CSV export of unused file lists. Detection of unregistered files (files in uploads/ without a Media Library entry, often left behind by backup or image optimization plugins). #### 100% Free No pro version, no upsells. Every feature is included. ## Captures d’écran * [[ * Scanner tab with sources, options, and live progress * [[ * Scan results with reference counts, filters, and bulk actions * [[ * Quarantine tab with restore and delete options * [[ * Settings page with retention, batch size, and scan options * [[ * How It Works documentation built into the plugin ## Installation 1.

Review the results and move unused files to quarantine 5. Files in quarantine are automatically deleted after 30 days (configurable) ## FAQ ### Is it safe to delete unused media? Yes. Tidy Media never deletes files directly from scan results. Files are first moved to a quarantine folder where they remain for 30 days (configurable). During this time, if you notice any missing images on your site, you can restore them with one click. Only after the retention period expires are files automatically deleted, or you can delete them manually from the Quarantine tab. All permanent delete actions require explicit confirmation. ### How does the scanner decide what is « unused »? The scanner works in two phases. First, it collects every media reference it can find across your site: post content, featured images, page builder data, WooCommerce products, custom fields, widgets, site options, and theme files. Then it compares every file in your Media Library against that list. If a file was not found in any scanned location, it is flagged as unused. See the « How It Works » tab in the plugin for full details. ### Will this work with my page builder? Tidy Media supports all major page builders: Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, WPBakery, and Bricks. The scanner detects images used in widgets, modules, backgrounds, templates, and saved layouts. Page builders that are not installed appear greyed out in the scan sources list so you can see what is supported. ### Does it work with WooCommerce? Yes. Tidy Media detects images used in WooCommerce product galleries, variation images, category thumbnails, downloadable product files, attribute images, brand images, and placeholder images. ### Does it detect images in custom fields (ACF, Meta Box, Pods)? Yes. Tidy Media supports five custom field plugins: ACF (Advanced Custom Fields), Meta Box, Pods, JetEngine, and Toolset Types. It scans image, file, gallery, and media fields in post meta, term meta, user meta, and ACF option pages. It also handles repeaters, groups, and flexible content layouts. ### What if I accidentally delete an important image? As long as the file is still in quarantine (within the retention period), you can restore it with one click. The file and all its thumbnails are moved back to their original location. If the WordPress attachment post was deleted while the file was in quarantine, a new one is automatically created with the original metadata. ### What are « unregistered files »? Unregistered files are files that exist in your wp-content/uploads/ directory but have no corresponding entry in the WordPress Media Library database. They are invisible to WordPress. Common sources include backup plugins (UpdraftPlus, BackWPup), image optimization backups (ShortPixel, Smush), cache files, and files left behind by uninstalled plugins. You can enable the « Scan for unregistered files » option to find and clean these up. ### How long does scanning take? It depends on the size of your Media Library and the number of posts on your site. A site with 1,000 media files typically takes 1-3 minutes. Large sites with 10,000 + files may take 10-30 minutes. The scan runs in batches and monitors server resources, so it will not crash your site. You can pause and resume at any time. ### Does it handle WordPress-generated thumbnails? When you upload an image, WordPress generates multiple sizes (thumbnail, medium, large, etc.). Tidy Media tracks the original file — if the original is used, all its thumbnails are automatically considered used too. When a file is quarantined or restored, all thumbnails are moved together. You can enable « Skip WordPress- generated thumbnails » in Settings to exclude auto-generated sizes from the results. ### What happens if I deactivate the plugin? Quarantined files remain safely on disk in wp-content/uploads/tidy-media-quarantine/. They are not deleted when the plugin is deactivated. If you uninstall (delete) the plugin and have « Delete all data » enabled in Settings, quarantined files and all plugin data will be permanently removed. ### Will scanning affect my site performance? No. The scan runs in small batches and monitors server resources (memory and execution time). It automatically pauses if resources are low and resumes after a brief cooldown. Your site remains fully operational during scanning. ### Are there any limitations? The scanner cannot detect images referenced only in custom plugin code (only theme files are scanned), external CSS/JS files, images loaded via custom PHP or AJAX, media used only in email templates, or images used as Open Graph images by SEO plugins. This is why quarantine exists — always quarantine first and verify your site before permanently deleting. ### Does it work on multisite? The plugin scans the current site only. On multisite installations, activate it per-site and run scans on each site individually. ## Avis Il n’y a aucun avis sur cette extension. ## Contributeurs & développeurs « Tidy Media » est un logiciel libre.
