AssetBroom – Media Cleaner helps you detect and remove unused images, duplicate media files, and unnecessary thumbnails from your WordPress media library.
Over time, WordPress websites accumulate hundreds or thousands of images that are no longer used. These unused files increase backup size, waste storage, and slow down website maintenance.
AssetBroom scans your entire website and identifies unused media files, duplicate images, and generated image sizes safely.
The plugin checks where images are used before marking them unused. This prevents accidental deletion of images used in:
<ul>
<li>Posts</li>
<li>Pages</li>
<li>Page builders</li>
<li>Featured images</li>
<li>WordPress generated image sizes</li>
</ul>
With AssetBroom you can safely clean your media library, remove unused images, and optimize storage.
