Gogasys Media Cleaner

Gogasys Unused Media Cleaner is a free WordPress plugin designed to help site administrators identify and remove unused media files such as images, videos, and documents from their WordPress installations. By scanning the entire site, it locates files that are no longer referenced or needed, addressing the common issue of media libraries growing over time and consuming unnecessary storage. The tool is intended for WordPress admins who want to maintain a leaner, more efficient media library and reduce wasted storage space.

The plugin features a deep scanning process that checks not only basic attachment references but also post content, featured images, WooCommerce product galleries, Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), and site icons. It is compatible with popular page builders such as Elementor, Divi Builder, and Beaver Builder, as it examines post meta values where these tools often store image and layout data. Gogasys Unused Media Cleaner offers AJAX batch processing to handle large media libraries efficiently, minimizing the risk of PHP timeouts by processing files in manageable batches.

Safety is a key aspect of the plugin’s design. It runs multiple checks before flagging any file as unused and advises users to back up their site and database before performing bulk deletions. The interface, integrated directly into the WordPress admin dashboard under Media → Unused Media, allows users to review, preview, and delete files individually or in bulk, giving full control over the cleanup process. No configuration is required to get started—installation and activation are followed by a simple scan and review workflow.
