A common case: a WordPress site whose uploads folder<\/strong> (wp-content\/uploads<\/code>) has grown for years. Old images, PDFs and unused attachments stay on disk even though they no longer appear on pages, posts or the shop. The Media Library looks full; the live site no longer uses those files.<\/p>\n\n

IT Empower Media Audit<\/strong> finds that unused media, explains why each file was classified, creates a validated backup<\/strong>, then deletes safely \u2014 with restore.<\/p>\n\n

The plugin does not compete on how many files it can delete. It competes on making WordPress media cleanup safe, explainable and recoverable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

English<\/h4>\n\n

Typical situation: redesigns, old products, unused page-builder images and leftover files inflate uploads<\/code> while the public site has moved on. Disk fills up; backups get slower; nobody knows which files are still referenced.<\/p>\n\n

Scan the Media Library, review unused vs used vs protected files, back up the exact selection, validate that backup<\/strong> (file count, size, SHA-256), then delete in batches. Restore stays available while the recovery point exists.<\/p>\n\n

No validated backup = no deletion.<\/strong> That rule is enforced in the code, not only shown as a warning.<\/p>\n\n

What version 1.0 scans: posts, pages, custom post types, featured images, post meta, options, widgets, Customizer \/ theme mods, Gutenberg, Elementor, WooCommerce, JSON and PHP serialized values, HTTP\/HTTPS, relative and CDN upload URLs.<\/p>\n\n

The plugin never adds a \u201cpowered by\u201d credit on your public website.<\/p>\n\n

Cas fr\u00e9quent : un site WordPress dont le dossier uploads<\/strong> (wp-content\/uploads<\/code>) a grossi pendant des ann\u00e9es. Anciennes images, PDF et pi\u00e8ces jointes restent sur le disque alors qu\u2019ils n\u2019apparaissent plus sur les pages, les articles ou la boutique. La m\u00e9diath\u00e8que est pleine ; le site public ne s\u2019en sert plus.<\/p>\n\n

Refontes, anciens produits, images de page builder et fichiers oubli\u00e9s gonflent uploads<\/code> alors que le site a chang\u00e9. L\u2019espace disque part, les sauvegardes ralentissent, personne ne sait ce qui est encore r\u00e9ellement utilis\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n

Trouvez ces m\u00e9dias inutilis\u00e9s, lisez pourquoi chaque fichier a \u00e9t\u00e9 class\u00e9, cr\u00e9ez une sauvegarde de la s\u00e9lection exacte, validez cette sauvegarde<\/strong> (nombre de fichiers, taille, SHA-256), puis supprimez par lots. La restauration reste possible tant que le point de r\u00e9cup\u00e9ration existe.<\/p>\n\n

Pas de sauvegarde valid\u00e9e = pas de suppression.<\/strong> Cette r\u00e8gle est appliqu\u00e9e dans le code, pas seulement affich\u00e9e.<\/p>\n\n

Scan 1.0 : articles, pages, CPT, images \u00e0 la une, postmeta, options, widgets, Customizer, Gutenberg, Elementor, WooCommerce, JSON et valeurs PHP s\u00e9rialis\u00e9es, URL HTTP\/HTTPS, relatives et CDN.<\/p>\n\n

Aucun lien \u00ab powered by \u00bb n\u2019est ajout\u00e9 sur le site public.<\/p>\n\n

Cleanup workflow<\/h4>\n\n
    \n
  1. Dry-run scan (no files are modified)<\/li>\n
  2. Review unused \/ possibly used \/ protected candidates<\/li>\n
  3. Select unused files only<\/li>\n
  4. Pre-flight (permissions, disk space, backup directory)<\/li>\n
  5. Backup of the exact selection<\/li>\n
  6. Backup validation (count, size, checksums)<\/li>\n
  7. Final reference re-check<\/li>\n
  8. Batch deletion with verification<\/li>\n
  9. Restore from the recovery point when needed<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
