<li>Move thumbnails to plugin Trash instead of deleting permanently</li>
<li>Restore trashed thumbnails later if needed</li>
<li>Process large libraries in batches with visible progress</li>
<li>Detect orphan thumbnails left behind on disk</li>
<li>Detect probably unused media items across post content, featured images, and common builder data</li>
<li>Regenerate missing image sizes in batches</li>
<li>Review per-size analytics including file counts, storage usage, missing sizes, and orphan counts</li>
<li>Review recent activity logs and reporting summaries for cleanup, restore, backup, and regeneration workflows</li>
<li>Disable selected image sizes for future uploads</li>
<li>Create zip backups for all uploads or a specific year/month folder</li>
