<p>Thumbnail Remover and Size Manager 2.2 is a safer and more complete media-maintenance workflow for WordPress.</p>
<p>Instead of deleting thumbnails blindly, the plugin now helps you:</p>
<ul>
<li>Preview cleanup results before removing files</li>
<li>Move thumbnails to plugin Trash instead of deleting permanently</li>
<li>Create a zip backup of the exact matching thumbnails before moving them to Trash</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>
<li>Schedule recurring cleanup runs with configurable frequency, size scope, and folder scope</li>
</ul>
<p>This release is built for site owners, developers, agencies, and anyone trying to reduce thumbnail bloat without risking accidental data loss.</p>
