## Descrição

Does your WordPress website feel slow? Over time, uploading images and files can
clog up your hosting space and slow down your backups. Often, many of these images
are uploaded but never actually used in any pages, posts, or galleries.

**Emetrio Media Purge** is a simple, lightweight utility designed to clean up your
website’s database and storage by identifying and removing these unused media files
safely and quickly.

The plugin works by scanning your WordPress media library and matching items against
your content. It finds images, videos, audio files, and documents that are completely
disconnected from your site, presenting them in a clear, easy-to-use list view for
permanent removal.

### Key Features and Benefits:

 * **Smart Deep Scanning:** Scans for media files used as featured images, inline
   post/page content, WooCommerce product galleries, and custom post types.
 * **Complete Media Support:** Supports all file types, including images, videos,
   audio tracks, and document files (PDFs, ZIPs, etc.).
 * **Safe Deletion & Bulk Actions:** Clean up your site with a single click using
   bulk deletion options, or delete files individually after reviewing them.
 * **Seamless WordPress Integration:** Integrates directly into your existing interface.
   Unused items are clearly labeled with a warning badge in both the native WordPress
   Media Library and the attachment details screen so you never accidentally delete
   important assets.
 * **Performance Boost:** Freeing up server space minimizes backup file sizes, speeds
   up your site, and simplifies server management.

## Perguntas frequentes

### Does the plugin delete my files automatically?

No. The plugin will never delete any of your files without your consent. It simply
scans your media library and displays a list of unused files. You can review this
list, select the files you want to delete, and clean them up manually.

### What counts as an “unused” media file?

Our plugin defines “unused” as any image, video, audio file, or document that is
not embedded or featured on any of your pages, posts, WooCommerce product galleries,
or custom content types. If a file is completely disconnected from your website 
content, it is considered unused.

### Is deleting a media file permanent?

Yes, deletion is 100% permanent. When you delete an image or file using Emetrio 
Media Purge, it is deleted from your database and completely removed from your web
hosting server. Because this cannot be undone, we strongly advise making a complete
backup of your website before deleting any files.

### Will it delete images used in headers, logos, or theme backgrounds?

Because some WordPress themes handle website logos, background patterns, and key
styling options in unique ways, there is a small chance these files could show up
in the scan. We recommend quickly reviewing the list before performing a bulk delete.
If you find your logo or header in the list, you can safely ignore it and choose
not to delete it.

### How does the plugin update the list of unused files?

The plugin runs a scan automatically when you first visit the cleanup page. To keep
your website fast and running smoothly, it stores these results. If you upload new
media or edit existing content, the list updates automatically. You can also refresh
this list at any time for the absolute latest status.
