Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about DevDome Media Cleaner – Remove Unused Images & Orphan Images

No. The scan checks dozens of locations (posts, page builders, WooCommerce, ACF, SEO images, widgets, theme settings, CSS and srcset, and more) and re-verifies each file the moment before it moves. Anything it cannot confirm is marked Needs manual review and is never selected automatically.
Yes. Nothing is deleted on the first action: files move to the Recycle Bin. Each batch can be restored with one click to its exact original location, with an integrity check on every file.
Run a scan, open the Review tab, sort by file size, and clean the largest unused images first. The dashboard shows exactly how much space you can reclaim, and orphaned files in the uploads folder often free up the most.
Yes. It parses Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, WPBakery, Bricks, Oxygen, Kadence, GenerateBlocks, Spectra, SeedProd, and Thrive layout data, and detects WooCommerce product, gallery, variation, and category images, ACF fields, and Yoast, Rank Math, and AIOSEO social images.
No. The scan runs in the background in small chunks and never blocks normal page loads. Visitors are never affected.
No. Scanning, review, reports, backups, cleanup, the Recycle Bin, and restore all work without any account, with no limits. Only one optional extra asks you to connect a free account: DevDome Monitoring, which watches your media stats on DevDome servers, shows a media-health dashboard in your account, and emails you alerts.
Yes. Each site in the network keeps its own scans, Recycle Bin, backups, and settings, and uninstalling cleans up every site in the network.
A protected folder inside your uploads directory. Cleaned files are moved there (never deleted) together with a per-batch manifest and checksums, so you can browse batches, restore everything with one click, or confirm a permanent delete once you are sure.
