HK Media Optimizer
HK Media Optimizer scans your Media Library and tells you exactly which files are no longer used anywhere on your site, so you can safely reclaim disk space. It runs entirely locally — no data is ever sent to an external server.
Why it is different
Unlike heavier media-cleaning tools, every scan runs in small, configurable batches over AJAX, so it stays comfortable even on modest shared hosting.
Where results are stored
Scan results live in their own dedicated database tables — never in wp_postmeta or wp_options — so your site’s core tables stay fast.
