I am excited to introduce WP Media Cleanup, a powerful tool that lets you reclaim disk space by identifying unused media files and removing them in a click.

WordPress Beginner

WP Media Cleanup is a new WordPress plugin that identifies and removes unused image variations automatically created by WordPress. The tool scans your entire site to determine which image files are actually in use, then safely deletes unused variations while protecting original files. Deleted files are backed up for 30 days and can be restored if needed. The plugin includes WP-CLI support for automating cleanup across multiple sites and is built by the Duplicator team. It helps reduce disk space usage, speed up backups and migrations, and lower hosting costs by eliminating storage waste from thousands of unused thumbnail and resized image files.
