How Unused Media Checker works
Show full descriptionShow less
English Unused Media Checker helps you identify, inspect, and safely remove unused media files from your WordPress Media Library.
The Media Library scan runs in small, resumable batches instead of one long request. This reduces the risk of gateway timeouts on sites with large media libraries. If the scan page is closed or reloaded, returning to the page resumes the saved scan progress.
Version 1.4.0 has been tested on development and staging installations with Media Libraries containing more than 6,000 files. Actual scan time depends on the hosting environment, content volume and enabled integrations.
The plugin analyzes your site and lists attachments that are not referenced in:
Posts, pages, and all public custom post types (including featured images/thumbnails)
Post content (Gutenberg blocks and classic content with wp-image-ID classes)
Direct image URLs from the uploads folder (wp-content/uploads/...)
Advanced Ads (media referenced via the advanced_ads_media meta)
Theme Customizer (site logo, site icon, header image, background image – including retina variants)
Rank Math FAQ blocks (images stored in FAQ block attributes)
Photo Gallery (10Web): optional filename-based warning in the unused list (usage is not mapped via attachment IDs)
Key features:
Resumable AJAX batch scan with progress display for large Media Libraries
Persistent scan snapshots for fast pagination and safer deletion checks
