  • Love it

    I deleted an image but was unable to save another image in the same name as the deleted image because it was in the trash. I used this plugin and I was able to permanently delete the trashed image and save my new image. I love this plugin. Thanks to the developers.

  • Convenient and useful

    It might be just a small plugin, but it helps to (easily) get rid of accumulated 'trash' media files directly from WP admin panel (standard WP does not expose these files for permanent removal).
