Haznox Cleaner for UpdraftPlus is a lightweight WordPress plugin that works alongside <a href="https://updraftplus.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">UpdraftPlus</a> to automatically remove local backup files from your server once they have been successfully uploaded to a remote storage destination such as Google Drive, Amazon S3, Dropbox, OneDrive, or any other service supported by UpdraftPlus.
This keeps your server disk usage low without any manual effort — ideal for agencies and developers managing multiple WordPress sites.
How it works:
<ol>
<li>UpdraftPlus runs its regular backup and uploads files to your configured remote storage.</li>
<li>Once the backup job completes, Haznox Cleaner for UpdraftPlus schedules a cleanup task to run 10 minutes later via WP-Cron.</li>
<li>Before deleting anything, the plugin confirms that remote storage is configured and the backup exists in UpdraftPlus history.</li>
<li>Only then are the local backup files permanently removed from your server.</li>
</ol>
Key features:
<ul>
<li>Hooks into both the modern (<code>updraftplus_backup_complete</code>) and legacy (<code>updraft_backup_complete</code>) UpdraftPlus actions — compatible with all UpdraftPlus versions.</li>
<li>Four-method backup directory resolver that works with default, custom, and token-based UpdraftPlus path configurations.</li>
<li>Activity log inside WordPress admin — see exactly what was deleted, when, and why anything was skipped.</li>
<li>Manual Clean button to run an on-demand cleanup from the dashboard.</li>
<li>All operations are logged with timestamps.</li>
<li>Safety checks prevent deletion if remote storage is not configured or the backup is not found in UpdraftPlus history.</li>
<li>System files (<code>.htaccess</code>, <code>index.html</code>, <code>index.php</code>) are never touched.</li>
<li>Clean uninstall — all plugin data is removed from the database when you delete the plugin.</li>
</ul>
Supports all UpdraftPlus remote storage destinations:
<ul>
<li>Google Drive</li>
<li>Amazon S3 (and S3-compatible)</li>
<li>Dropbox</li>
<li>Microsoft OneDrive</li>
<li>Backblaze B2</li>
<li>FTP / SFTP</li>
<li>Any other service supported by UpdraftPlus</li>
</ul>

This plugin is an extension of UpdraftPlus: it adds a dashboard widget showing the date and time of the latest backup. It also displays how many edits were made after that, if any.
The plugin is currently available for use with UpdraftPlus Backup but it will ‘fail silently’ if used with another backup plugin (you will see a message telling you to make sure UpdraftPlus Backup plugin is installed and activated).
Please consider leaving a review if you have been using this plugin for a while.
