Haznox Cleaner for UpdraftPlus is a lightweight WordPress plugin that works alongside <a href="https://updraftplus.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">UpdraftPlus</a> to automatically remove local backup files from your server once they have been successfully uploaded to a remote storage destination such as Google Drive, Amazon S3, Dropbox, OneDrive, or any other service supported by UpdraftPlus.
This keeps your server disk usage low without any manual effort — ideal for agencies and developers managing multiple WordPress sites.
How it works:
<ol>
<li>UpdraftPlus runs its regular backup and uploads files to your configured remote storage.</li>
<li>Once the backup job completes, Haznox Cleaner for UpdraftPlus schedules a cleanup task to run 10 minutes later via WP-Cron.</li>
<li>Before deleting anything, the plugin confirms that remote storage is configured and the backup exists in UpdraftPlus history.</li>
<li>Only then are the local backup files permanently removed from your server.</li>
</ol>
Key features:
<ul>
<li>Hooks into both the modern (<code>updraftplus_backup_complete</code>) and legacy (<code>updraft_backup_complete</code>) UpdraftPlus actions — compatible with all UpdraftPlus versions.</li>
<li>Four-method backup directory resolver that works with default, custom, and token-based UpdraftPlus path configurations.</li>
<li>Activity log inside WordPress admin — see exactly what was deleted, when, and why anything was skipped.</li>
<li>Manual Clean button to run an on-demand cleanup from the dashboard.</li>
<li>All operations are logged with timestamps.</li>
<li>Safety checks prevent deletion if remote storage is not configured or the backup is not found in UpdraftPlus history.</li>
<li>System files (<code>.htaccess</code>, <code>index.html</code>, <code>index.php</code>) are never touched.</li>
<li>Clean uninstall — all plugin data is removed from the database when you delete the plugin.</li>
</ul>
Supports all UpdraftPlus remote storage destinations:
<ul>
<li>Google Drive</li>
<li>Amazon S3 (and S3-compatible)</li>
<li>Dropbox</li>
<li>Microsoft OneDrive</li>
<li>Backblaze B2</li>
<li>FTP / SFTP</li>
<li>Any other service supported by UpdraftPlus</li>
</ul>
