Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about MediaSleuth

No. Deleted files are moved to a plugin trash folder and kept for the configured retention period (default 30 days) before permanent deletion. You can restore files at any time during this period.

When the scanner cannot guarantee a file is unused (e.g., complex serialized data or third-party plugin references), it marks the file as "Possibly Used" rather than "Unused" to prevent accidental deletion.

Yes. The scanner uses universal detection across post meta, options, JSON, and serialized data. It automatically recognizes data from Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, WPBakery, Bricks, ACF, WooCommerce, and many other plugins. Developers can extend detection using WordPress filters: media_sleuth_infer_plugin_label, media_sleuth_is_excluded_option, and media_sleuth_rescan_detectors.
