Lets you create a content inventory right in the WordPress Edit screens, similar to the process you might use to assess your site’s content in a spreadsheet. You can mark content as redundant, outdated, trivial, or in need of a review for SEO or style. These content status labels work just like categories, so you can remove the built-in ones and add your own if you like. You can also assign a content owner (distinct from the original author) and keep internal notes. The IDs are revealed on the Edit screens so you can keep track of your content even if you change titles and permalinks. The plugin supports custom post types as well as posts, pages, and media files.
There’s an Overview report under the Dashboard menu that shows you which posts/pages/attachments/etc. need attention, sorted by user. This screen also lets you export a CSV file of the audit report.
The plugin creates three new filters on the Edit screens: author, content owner, and content status. This should make it easy to narrow your focus to just a few pages at a time.
You can display the audit details to logged-in editors on the front end if you want, either above or below the content. You can style the audit message with custom CSS.
New: you can now clear data from past audits and start over!

Content Audit

This is a light-weight plugin that's very approachable.. I've found people like using it.

I could imagine more robust reporting features and other small polishes, but this plugin pretty much does exactly what it says and works great.

Great plugin I love to recommend

WP Fix It - WordPress Experts

Guard Dog Security & Site Lock helps WordPress administrators keep their installations clean and secure.
Over time, it’s common for orphaned plugin or theme folders to build up in your wp-content directory. These stray folders may be the result of incomplete uninstallations, leftover files from updates, or abandoned code that was never fully removed. While they might seem harmless at first glance, they can create confusion, waste storage space, and in some cases pose a serious security risk.
Hackers often exploit these forgotten folders by hiding backdoors or malicious scripts inside them, knowing that site owners rarely check for or even notice such files. An orphaned folder can act as an open invitation for unauthorized access, giving attackers a quiet place to operate undetected. 
By identifying and removing these unused folders, you not only keep your WordPress installation clean and organized but also close off potential entry points that could otherwise be used to compromise your site. The Guard Dog Security plugin makes this process simple, scanning your directories to uncover anything that doesn’t belong and highlighting it for review before it becomes a problem.
SITE LOCK – Only found here!
One of the easiest ways for a hacked user to damage your site is by adding or changing the physical files that WordPress relies on. If attackers can place hidden scripts, modify plugin or theme files, or inject malicious code, they gain the power to compromise your entire site.
The Site Lock feature in Guard Dog Security protects against this by allowing you to lock all folders and files in your installation and make them read-only. Once locked, no new files can be added, no existing files can be changed, and nothing can be removed. This ensures that the foundation of your WordPress site remains untouched, even if someone attempts to exploit vulnerabilities or gain access.
When updates or changes are needed, you can unlock the system with a single action, perform your updates, and then reapply the lock. This simple but powerful safeguard gives you complete control over your site’s file structure and adds a layer of security that goes beyond what most WordPress plugins offer.
This plugin scans the following directories: 
– WordPress Root (main installation folder) 
– wp-content Folder (wp-content/) 
– Plugins Folder (wp-content/plugins/) 
– Themes Folder (wp-content/themes/) 
– Uploads Folder (wp-content/uploads/) 
– htaccess files
Guard Dog Security takes a disk-first approach. It crawls your entire WordPress installation and inventories every single file and folder, not just plugins and themes. Everything is presented in a clear interface where you can open items to view their contents, mark them to ignore, delete them if they are not needed, or download a copy for backup or investigation.
Because it works directly from what is actually on disk, you are never limited by what WordPress shows in the admin. You can quickly spot unfamiliar files, tidy up leftovers from old plugins or themes, and pull down suspicious items for review, all without leaving the dashboard. It provides a fast and transparent way to see exactly what is on your server and take action immediately.
