Made for busy WordPress site owners
Your WordPress media library is full of files you do not use. They slow your site and waste your hosting space.
Media Purge shows which images are safe to remove, where each file is being used, and helps you clean up without breaking your pages.
- No credit card required
- Free core features
- Check usage before delete
- One-click restore anytime
The Problem
WordPress quietly hoards your files. And charges you for it.
Every image revision, old product update, and replaced banner keeps sitting on your host bill. Most teams never realize how much waste has built up.
Unused files
Large sites can carry thousands of hidden files never used on any page.
Storage waste
Unused and duplicate media can consume nearly half of your media library.
No upfront cost
Use core cleanup features free. Upgrade only when advanced automation is needed.
The old way is dangerous: no context, no rollback, and no safe restore flow. One wrong delete can break posts, product pages, or theme sections.
How It Works
Three steps. Under 2 minutes. No technical knowledge needed.
Run a scan, verify where each file is used, then clean confidently with a built-in recovery path.
Scan Everything
Post content, galleries, widgets, WooCommerce, and major page builders are inspected automatically.
Review Full Context
Each media item shows where it appears so you never delete files that are still active.
Trash Safely, Restore Fast
Move to safe trash first, restore instantly if needed, and permanently delete only when ready.
