Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about DevDome Media Cleaner: Remove Unused Images & Media Library Cleanup

No scanner can guarantee detection of every custom or hard-coded reference. DevDome Safe Media Cleaner checks many common WordPress locations, page builders, WooCommerce data, custom fields, SEO settings, CSS, and responsive image references. It also re-checks each selected file immediately before moving it. Uncertain files are marked Needs manual review and are not selected automatically. Selected files move to the Recycle Bin first so they can be restored.

The Recycle Bin is a protected local folder that holds cleaned files before permanent deletion. The first cleanup action moves selected files there instead of permanently deleting them. Each cleanup batch includes a manifest and checksums. You can restore cleaned files to their original locations with one click while they remain in the Recycle Bin.

Unused images have a Media Library record but no detected reference on the site. Orphaned files exist in the uploads folder without a matching Media Library record. Yes, the disk scan walks wp-content/uploads and lists orphaned files: images with no Media Library record, including thumbnails left behind by deleted images. Other file types are left alone.

Yes. Identical copies among the unused images (same file bytes) are listed under Duplicates on the Review screen, with the oldest copy kept as the suggested original. A used image is never marked as a duplicate, and duplicates are never selected automatically.

Run a scan, open Review, and sort by file size. Review the largest unused images and orphaned files first. The dashboard shows the amount of storage represented by the flagged files. Moving files to the local Recycle Bin keeps them available for restoration. Check your site before confirming permanent deletion to reclaim that space.

Yes. It checks data used by Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, WPBakery, Bricks, Oxygen, Kadence, GenerateBlocks, Spectra, SeedProd, Thrive, WooCommerce, ACF, Meta Box, Yoast SEO, Rank Math, and AIOSEO.

Scanning runs in small background batches to reduce memory use and timeout risk. Large scans can be paused and resumed. Yes, scans, cleanups, backups, and restores run on the server in background batches and continue after you close the tab. Reopen the plugin page to see the progress.

No. Scanning, review, reports, backups, cleanup, the Recycle Bin, and restore work without an account. A free DevDome account is required only for optional DevDome Monitoring.

Yes. Each site keeps its own scans, Recycle Bin, backups, and settings.

No. Nothing is removed until you review the results and choose what to clean. The first step is always the Recycle Bin, so cleanup can be undone until you confirm permanent deletion.
