Descripción
Dustorage scans your entire WordPress site to find media files that are no longer used anywhere — not attached to any post, page, featured image, custom field, or site setting. Instead of deleting files immediately, Dustorage places them in a quarantine period, giving you time to review and restore anything deleted by mistake before it’s permanently removed.
Key Features
- Scans the full media library and detects unused files
- Checks featured images, post content, post meta, custom fields, and site options (logo, site icon)
- Quarantine system: files are held for a configurable number of days before permanent deletion
- Scheduled automatic scans (daily or weekly)
- Activity log to track what was quarantined or deleted
- Excluded folders setting to protect specific directories from being scanned
How It Works
- Dustorage scans your media library and checks each file against multiple usage rules.
- Files found unused are placed in quarantine (not deleted immediately).
- After the quarantine period ends (default: 7 days), files are permanently deleted.
- You can review and restore quarantined files at any time before that.
Instalación
- Upload the
dustorage-media-library-cleanupfolder to the/wp-content/plugins/directory, or install the plugin directly through the WordPress plugins screen. - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
- Go to Dustorage Cleaner in your admin menu to run your first scan and configure settings.
FAQ
-
Will this delete my files immediately?
-
No. Files are first placed in a quarantine period (configurable, default 7 days) before permanent deletion, so you have time to review and restore anything if needed.
-
What counts as «used»?
-
Dustorage checks featured images, content inside posts and pages, post meta (including custom fields), attachment relationships, and site options such as the custom logo and site icon.
-
Can I exclude certain folders from scanning?
-
Yes, under Settings you can list folder paths that should never be scanned or touched by the plugin.
