AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Haznox Cleaner for UpdraftPlus is a newly-listed WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. no published reviews yet means feature claims are unverified by the wider merchant base. Without a published review base, the only fit-signal available is the developer's own documentation plus the marketplace's listing-quality audit (linked below). Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Haznox Cleaner for UpdraftPlus works
Show full descriptionShow less
Haznox Cleaner for UpdraftPlus is a lightweight WordPress plugin that works alongside UpdraftPlus to automatically remove local backup files from your server once they have been successfully uploaded to a remote storage destination such as Google Drive, Amazon S3, Dropbox, OneDrive, or any other service supported by UpdraftPlus.
This keeps your server disk usage low without any manual effort — ideal for agencies and developers managing multiple WordPress sites.
How it works:
UpdraftPlus runs its regular backup and uploads files to your configured remote storage.
Once the backup job completes, Haznox Cleaner for UpdraftPlus schedules a cleanup task to run 10 minutes later via WP-Cron.
Before deleting anything, the plugin confirms that remote storage is configured and the backup exists in UpdraftPlus history.
Only then are the local backup files permanently removed from your server.
Key features:
Hooks into both the modern (updraftplus_backup_complete) and legacy (updraft_backup_complete) UpdraftPlus actions — compatible with all UpdraftPlus versions.
Four-method backup directory resolver that works with default, custom, and token-based UpdraftPlus path configurations.
Activity log inside WordPress admin — see exactly what was deleted, when, and why anything was skipped.
Manual Clean button to run an on-demand cleanup from the dashboard.
All operations are logged with timestamps.
Safety checks prevent deletion if remote storage is not configured or the backup is not found in UpdraftPlus history.
System files (.htaccess, index.html, index.php) are never touched.
Clean uninstall — all plugin data is removed from the database when you delete the plugin.
Supports all UpdraftPlus remote storage destinations:
Google Drive
Amazon S3 (and S3-compatible)
Dropbox
Microsoft OneDrive
Backblaze B2
FTP / SFTP
Any other service supported by UpdraftPlus
