Lifesaver to reduce bloating upload folder. Very usefull love it!

It′s a pity that I don′t remember the hero that pointed me in the direction of this truly awesome FREE plugin.

Use it for years now for a particular type of clients: the ones happily uploading all their media in bulk – use only some of them and never look back.

At some point we have to upgrade their hosting plan. We know the question coming after telling this.
Why? It′s a small website – I did not change anything – etc.
Have a look at your Media Library my dear
Oh I See all uploads but I dont need all that images. Can′t you just delete the unused ones for me?
Nope..
I can select ¨unattached files¨ in WordPress but that does not give a clue if you bulk uploaded before and/or if you use that images in other places.

But: I do have a tip for you!
We can install a nice FREE plugin that checks out you Media library, and for every image that seams not to be in use on your website, you get a list with a nice little preview thumbnail & the name of the file to help you remember if you need that image to stay in you Library.

This is something you can do to help you:

1. getting more organised;
2. less scrolling through files when you want to look for a blog image;
3. no upgrade in hosting disk space needed;
4. Going through like this will save you from deleting the wrong ones.
   

So clients go through their files, also having a moment to update their blogs, filenames and helping their SEO as a bonus.

The only thing we do for them because we know : people do not read anymore, so they do miss warnings. We backup the whole website before we send the advice.
