Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Media Purge

No — not automatically, and not until you choose to. Files are moved to the plugin's internal trash first. They remain there for 30 days by default (adjustable in Settings) and can be restored at any time from the Recovery tab. Permanent deletion only happens when you click "Delete Permanently" yourself, or when the retention period expires.

Yes. The scanner is completely read-only — it never moves, modifies, or deletes anything while scanning. Nothing changes on your site until you explicitly click a Trash button.

Yes. Elementor, Divi, WPBakery, and Beaver Builder are all scanned automatically. For unsupported builders, use the Whitelist feature to exclude files you know are in use.

Use the Whitelist feature. Click "Keep" on any file in the Scanner tab to permanently exclude it from all future scan results.

Yes. Product featured images and image galleries are scanned via post meta inspection.

Files are grouped by their MD5 hash. Byte-for-byte identical files are placed in the same duplicate group regardless of filename.

No. Scans run as a background async process — normal visitors are unaffected even while a scan is in progress.

Yes. Use the Export CSV button in the Scanner tab.

Cron events are cleared immediately. Plugin database tables are left intact so your scan history and whitelist are preserved if you reactivate.

Database tables and all plugin options are fully removed.
