The Jix Media Library Cleanup Tool is the ultimate solution for WordPress administrators looking to clean up their media library, reduce database bloat, and improve site performance.
Over time, your WordPress Media Library accumulates “orphaned” items—database entries without files, files not attached to any posts, or broken links. This tool allows you to scan, analyze, and remove these items safely.
🚀 <a href="https://fardara.ir/pro/media-cleanup.html" rel="nofollow ugc">Upgrade to the Pro Version</a> to unlock Deep Scanning for page builders (Elementor/Divi), Automated Scheduling, and Advanced Filtering.
<h3>✨ Free (Lite) Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Dashboard Overview: Get a quick snapshot of your library health, including Total Attachments, Estimated Library Size, and Unattached Items.</li>
<li>Dry Run Mode: The safest way to clean. Run a full simulation to see exactly what would be deleted without touching a single file.</li>
<li>Move to Trash: Support for “Soft Delete.” Instead of permanently deleting files, move them to the WordPress Trash first so you can restore them if needed.</li>
<li>Standard Cleanup Criteria:
<ul>
<li>Missing Parent Post: Attachments belonging to deleted posts.</li>
<li>Missing Physical File: Database records where the actual file is missing from the server.</li>
<li>HTTP Errors: Detects images returning 403 (Forbidden) or 404 (Not Found) errors.</li>
<li>Unattached (Unused) Media: Files that are not attached to any specific post or page.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Safety Protections:
<ul>
<li>Ignore Recent Files: specific setting to protect files uploaded within the last X days (default 30) from being scanned.</li>
<li>Manual Exclusions: “Lock” specific files to ensure they are never deleted.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Real-Time Logs: View a live log of the cleaning process directly on the screen as batches are processed.</li>
<li>Batch Processing: Processes files in small batches (Max 5 in Lite) to prevent server timeouts.</li>
</ul>
