Confused
I’ve deleted a lot of my old posts and wanted Media Cleaner to identify all the media files that are no longer connected to a post. I know there are some, but Media Cleaner just keeps telling me there’s nothing to clean. So I gave up on it.

Loving Media Cleaner – Great Plugin!
I’ve been using the free version for a while and really like how clean and intuitive the interface is. It’s super helpful to find and remove unused media safely — especially for larger WordPress projects. What I like most is that it’s fast, reliable, and gives me full control before deleting anything. The previews and scan options are very clear and save a lot of time.
Amazing cleanup tool
It removed hundreds of unnecessary revisions, spam comments, and transient data. My site loads noticeably faster now. Totally recommended!
Saved Me From a Media Library Nightmare
Media Cleaner has been a huge help on my WordPress site. One of my other image optimization plugins went haywire while trying to improve CDN caching and serve different image formats for desktop and mobile browsers. It created around 20 extra image files for every image on my site. What started as an image performance tool turned into an exponential media library nightmare that was chewing through storage on my VPS. I was honestly dreading the alternatives. I thought I would need to open an SSH terminal, write custom database queries, manually sort through upload folders, or make a full backup and use third party tools to purge and restore everything. That process can get risky fast, especially on a site with a large media library. Media Cleaner saved my butt. It helped identify unused media entries, broken entries, and unnecessary files without making me blindly delete everything. The internal trash is one of the best parts because it lets you review the cleanup before anything is permanently removed. That safety net matters when you are dealing with thousands of images and do not want to accidentally remove something still in use. I also appreciate the smart scanning and compatibility support for WordPress content, WooCommerce, builders, galleries, image formats, thumbnails, WebP files, and more. The ability to see references and investigate why an item was flagged makes the process much less stressful. The Pro features, especially filesystem analysis, are very useful when your uploads directory contains files that no longer properly match the WordPress Media Library. I own the AI Engine lifetime license from Meow Apps as well, and I have used AI Engine Pro for a long time. I have consistently had a great experience with their plugins. Jordy and the Meow Apps team keep their products updated, add useful features, and respond quickly to security concerns with patches when needed. I completely trust this development team. Media Cleaner is powerful, so make a good backup before doing major cleanup work. But if a broken plugin, migration, old theme, page builder, or years of uploads have left your Media Library full of junk, this plugin can save an incredible amount of time, storage, and frustration. Highly recommended.
REALIITY: Media Cleaner finds unused files and broken entries in your Media
Media Cleaner, it is not only a promise, they really deliver. I go for Pro, for even more optimization.
