Media Trim — Unused & Duplicate Media Cleaner

Sharraxaad

Media Trim is the ultimate solution for keeping your WordPress media library clean and optimized. Stop wasting server space on unused images and forgotten uploads.

Whether you’re managing a small blog or a large content site, Media Trim scans your entire media library, identifies files that aren’t being used anywhere, and gives you the power to safely remove them with a single click.

Why Choose Media Trim?

• Smart Detection: Advanced scanning algorithms detect truly unused media by checking posts, pages, custom post types, meta fields, widgets, and theme options.
• Safe Cleanup: Files are moved to a trash system first, allowing you to restore them if needed before permanent deletion.
• Duplicate Finder: Identify and merge duplicate files to save even more space.
• File System Scanner: Find orphaned files on disk that aren’t in the media library.
