  • Not working well

    When trying to clean with one of my projects: Logo was deleted while I set it on Customizer Not working with the latest ACF Pro (I tried version 6.0.6), all image fields have gone.

  • So efficient and delightful

    Helped me reduce my media library files by removing unused media. I wish it gets updated soon.

  • Simple and efficient

    Out of my 137 medias 45 were unused. 33% of space that could be freed up. Thanks for your good work

  • Works as expected

    Used on a website with 800 medias. The scanner is a little slow, 30 minutes to scan the medias. It managed to find medias even in Elementor data. In some cases, the "check again" found the media when the scanner didn't find it. Thanks a lot for this plugin.
