Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Shift Media Library Cleanup

No. A scan never changes anything. Files only leave your Media Library when you move them to quarantine, and they are deleted permanently only after the quarantine period (30 days) or when you delete them yourself from the Quarantine tab.

Its files are moved to a private folder inside your uploads directory and the media item is hidden from the Media Library. Its ID, title, alt text and other details are kept, so a restore brings everything back exactly as before.

When a visitor's browser requests a quarantined file, the plugin counts it and shows the page that requested it in the Quarantine tab. This works when missing files are handled by WordPress, which is the case on most Apache servers and many nginx setups; some servers answer missing image requests on their own, and those requests cannot be seen.

It is designed to make that very unlikely, but it can happen with images loaded from places outside your site (another website, an email already sent, a mobile app) or by a plugin storing image IDs in a format nobody else uses. That is why removal always goes through the quarantine first.

The plugin works with media items registered in the Media Library. Files copied to the uploads folder by other means are not listed and never touched.

Moving files to quarantine requires a scan from the last 24 hours, so recent changes to your site are taken into account. Just run a new scan: it continues in the background.

Everything in quarantine is restored first, then the plugin removes its own data. If a file cannot be restored because a new file now has the same name, its data is kept so that reinstalling the plugin shows it again.

Yes. Each site of the network has its own scan and quarantine.
