IT Empower Safe Media Cleaner

WordPress plugin to find unused media, create a checksum-validated backup, then delete safely — with restore.

Developed by IT Empower Solutions.

No validated backup = no deletion.
Pas de sauvegarde validée = pas de suppression.
This rule is enforced in code, not only displayed as a warning.

English

IT Empower Safe Media Cleaner finds unused WordPress media, creates a SHA-256 validated backup of the exact selection, then deletes in batches. Restore stays available while the recovery point exists.

It does not compete on how many files it can delete. It competes on making cleanup safe, explainable and recoverable.

Features

• Scan Media Library, posts / pages / CPT, featured images, post meta, options, widgets, Customizer
• Gutenberg, Elementor, WooCommerce
• JSON, PHP serialized values, HTTP/HTTPS, relative and CDN URLs
• Statuses: used, unused, possibly used, protected, orphan (list only)
• Filter unused files by extension (.png, .jpg, .pdf…)
• Exclusions (ID, extension, folder, pattern)
• Mandatory backup + integrity validation
• Batch delete, pause, retry, restore
• Audit log
• Dry-run scan (never modifies files)
• Interface: French for fr_* WordPress locales, English otherwise

Français
