Shakoor Media Cleaner
v1.0.0 · by shakoorwp
The safest way to clean your WordPress Media Library. Isolate unused files in a secure Vault instead of deleting them blindly.
About this plugin
Shakoor Media Cleaner solves the biggest risk of library optimization: accidental deletion. Instead of permanently removing files, this plugin uses a unique Vault System to isolate unused attachments into a custom database table.
If a file is moved to the vault but you realize you still need it, you can restore it with a single click—no backups required.
Features
- Smart Isolation: Moves unused media to a secure “holding area” (Vault) rather than deleting them from the server.
- Full Automation: Built-in engine to schedule library cleanups (Daily, Weekly, etc.).
- Live Countdown Timer: Monitor exactly when the next automated cleaning will occur.
- One-Click Restore: Safely return any isolated file back to the WordPress Media Library with metadata intact.
- Page Builder Compatible: Tested and verified with Elementor v4 and the Gutenberg (Block) editor.
- Hard Delete: Once you are 100% sure, permanently remove files from the Vault to save disk space.
