Description

Orphanix Media Cleanup is the all-in-one solution to clean, organize, and optimize your WordPress media library. It scans your site for unused, orphaned, broken, and dynamically loaded media files – including images, videos, and documents – so you can safely remove them and improve performance.

Core Features:
* Media Scan: Detect unused or orphaned media files in the library and uploads folder.
* Broken Media Scan: Identify missing, corrupted, or unreachable files that could break layouts or SEO.
* Live Site Scan: Analyze frontend usage to see which media is actually displayed to visitors.
* Analytics: Track scan summaries, usage trends, and storage impact.
* Page Builder & Plugin Compatibility: Works with Gutenberg, Elementor, ACF, WooCommerce, widgets, menus, and theme files (Deep Scan).
* Safe Deletion Workflow: Move files to trash before permanent deletion; delete all sizes & versions.
* Bulk Actions & Filters: Easily manage large media libraries with filters for unused, orphaned, or broken files.

Benefits:
* Free up storage space and reduce server load
* Prevent broken images and improve site reliability
* Keep media library organized and clean
* Ensure no live or builder-used media is accidentally deleted

How it Works:
1. Run a Media Scan to detect unused files.
2. Use Broken Media Scan to detect missing or corrupted files.
3. Perform a Live Site Scan to verify actual frontend usage.
4. Review Analytics for scan history and cleanup actions.
5. Delete safely using the built-in trash workflow – all file sizes and versions included.

How is Media Scan different from Broken Media Scan?

Media Scan finds unused or orphaned files. Broken Media Scan finds missing or corrupted files that are referenced but not present on your site.

What does Live Site Scan do?

Live Site Scan checks the actual frontend of your site to detect media that is dynamically loaded or used by page builders and plugins.

Are deleted files recoverable?

Yes. Files first go to a plugin-managed trash folder. You can restore them before permanent deletion.

Does it delete all image sizes?

Yes. When deleting a media file, all registered sizes and thumbnails are deleted along with the original file.

Which page builders and plugins are supported?

Gutenberg, Elementor, ACF, WooCommerce, widgets, navigation menus, and theme files (Deep Scan only).
