Safely deletes WooCommerce product images (featured, gallery, variations) on permanent delete, with protection for shared images.

Eduard Doloc

Automatically deletes all images associated with a WooCommerce product when the product is permanently deleted from the Trash.
The plugin includes multiple safety mechanisms to ensure that shared images are never removed if they are used by other active products.
