Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Mediaspy - Detect & Clean Unused Media

Mediaspy checks every file against your full database before marking it unused. Even so, always take a site backup before bulk-deleting. Use the Download ZIP button to save a copy of unused files before you delete them.

Some plugins store data in custom database tables that Mediaspy does not scan (for example, certain booking or events plugins). If you can see a file on your site, do not delete it. Use the search bar to find and skip it.

Yes. Mediaspy reads the raw post meta where builders store their data, and also scans global plugin settings in the database.

Yes. The scanner reads Global Styles and handles JSON-escaped URLs, so background images set through the Site Editor are correctly detected.

No. The plugin is admin-only. Nothing runs on public-facing pages. The scan only starts when you click Scan Now.

No - deletion is permanent. Use Download ZIP to save a backup before deleting if you are unsure.

Not in this version. Mediaspy is designed for single-site installations.

A link in your content, page-builder data, options or CSS that points to a media file which no longer exists on disk. Mediaspy classifies each as deleted, missing size, ghost attachment, or foreign domain.

WordPress generates resized copies (e.g. image-300x200.jpg). "Missing size" means a resized copy is gone but the original is still present - Mediaspy can regenerate the missing sizes for you with one click.

Under 5 seconds for most sites. Libraries with 5,000+ files may take up to 30 seconds.
