Be careful to use this plugin
Plugin showing unused images. I deleted all the unused images but I saw my site hasn't any images! Rubbish!

Deleted all images from my site.
Left my site completely stripped of images. All product images, blog images and custom post type images are gone. Good thing I tested it on staging first. I deleted the plugin faster than lighting

Useless
Installed an activated it, but cannot get past the "`This tool offers many cleaning options for your WordPress site, it is safe, however you must be aware that any cleaning operation is definitive! So, to avoid any worries, check that you have a backup of your site before using this tool." notice, no matter how many times I click the "OK it's noted !" button. As result, it's absolutely useless.

Worked great!
This plugin works great. It is fast and you can download the media files before deletion, just in case you need them later.
