Media Trim — Unused & Duplicate Media Cleaner

Clean up your WordPress media library by finding and removing unused, duplicate, and orphaned media files. Reclaim disk space instantly.

Is your WordPress media library full of files nobody is using? Over time, images, documents, and other uploads accumulate without ever being referenced in posts, pages, or theme settings. OliveroDev Media Audit scans every corner of your site and tells you exactly which files are safe to delete — so you can recover disk space without breaking anything.
Smart detection that actually works. Most media cleaner plugins miss references stored in page builders, widgets, or serialized data. OliveroDev Media Audit checks post content, post meta, term meta, user meta, theme mods, widget options, and more — all in a single optimized scan — to reduce false positives and keep your site intact.
