Delete Unused Images - WordPress Plugin

Description

Automatically deletes unused media images on a scheduled interval. This plugin helps keep your WordPress media library clean by removing images that are no longer linked to any posts, pages, or custom post types.

Key Features

  • Automated Cron Jobs: Scheduled intervals to check and delete unused images automatically.
  • Batch Processing: Handles large media libraries safely with a batch time limit (default 50 seconds) to prevent server timeouts.
  • Manual Trigger: Ability to start the scan process manually from the admin settings page, with complete stats and a stop button.
  • Dry Run Mode: Test the process to see which images would be deleted without actually removing any files.
  • Detailed Statistics: A comprehensive stats section to monitor the scan and deletion progress.
  • Logging System: Built-in logs for debugging and monitoring plugin activities.
  • Profile Check Caching: Added cache system for profile checks to improve performance.
  • Watchdog: Ensures the cron doesn't stop unexpectedly and added a continue button.
