Find used medias from you from the database and/or your upload folder and give the way to delete them the ones "unused"
Ultimate media cleaner give you the power to find “unused files” (please read the next line) in your sites and delete them
Unused files is more “not usage found” with our detection system. You have to know that WP is easy to use, but is a very complex software.
Remember that WP can be used like e-commerce, video share platform, normal blog, etc.
So is impossible to be 100% accurate about the “unused files”, so for this version we changed for “Not usage found”, this phrase is more accurate about what this plugin do
We made one Pro version, we added some “nice to have feature”, you can find it at Ultimate media cleaner PRO
Even if we made all possible to try to find reference in the database, there are some files used in ways impossible to detected internally.
The only way is to use one web crawler and to detect the reference in direct in your HTML, JS and CSS code
We work in our own web crawler, you can find it at Ultimate media cleaner Crawler (external and pay service)

Is important to you to know how this plugin work, so here we go:
The plugin is composed in 5 prat
Find files from database and find files from your folder system part
This two parts are really similar, the unique difference is where the information is coming from.
Files from the database will show you every file and images found in the database (in your database this will be the table Post with values post_type=’attachment’)
And folders, are files found in the wp-upload folder. Keep in mind that some plugin use this folder to add their own files, and this plugin will not detect their usage
Keep in mind that the “not usage found” label can have from 0% to 100% accuracy
The delete list part
You can see every file that you want to delete, so have two option, continue and delete them or remove it from them from the list
Try to make your own verification and validate that the file you want to delete is not used in your site
The option part
You can found some useful configuration, like hide the delete button for children images
The crawler part
You can crawl your site to have better accuracy in the “not usage found” found
This plugin is like “one-shot usage”, you should do:
In only one day (you can take one day without making news post or page, to make this maintenance activity )
You have two possible result: Working, not working
Working
Not working
This plugin can destroy your site IF you don’t know how to use it, YES YOU CAN DESTROY IT!!!
This plugin need you to see if is working like it should, take the “not usage found” like inaccurate and go by little steps, see if is working with your WP configuration, plugins, themes, etc.
Is very wisely to use one backup system, that take in account your upload folder and database
They are some big part of this plugin:
The easy way :
The hard way :
DNUI
folder to your /wp-content/plugins/
directoryPlugins
menu in WordPressAdd delete option for attachment from server
Added medias from server and find ids, but without delete/ignore options
New release, new code back and front
Rewrite of DNUI and CUF in one plugin
