What the index shows
Evidence before cleanup.
Statuses describe detected references. They do not delete media or rewrite URLs.
Local scan
The scanner reads WordPress content, metadata, templates, builder data, and relevant settings on your site.
Named references
Attachment details can show Elementor widgets, Divi modules, Uncode blocks, WPBakery elements, and ACF fields when those are present.
Protected images
Mark images that should never be treated as cleanup candidates, even if no references are found.
Cleanup Queue, not trash
Pro only accepts images from a complete, warning-free index with zero references. Files stay on disk.
How it works
Find first.
Hide later.
Cleanup starts with an index you can inspect. Pro never permanently deletes media in this version.
Build the index
Scan Media Library images and collect named reference evidence.
Filter by status
Find images that are in use, referenced, protected, or have no references.
Review without deleting
Pro moves eligible images into a virtual Cleanup Queue. Files stay on disk.
Restore any time
Restore does not require an active license. Deactivating Pro makes images visible again.
