No. Tidy Media uses a quarantine-first approach. Files are moved to a quarantine folder before deletion. You have 30 days (configurable) to restore any file with one click. Files are only permanently deleted after the retention period or when you explicitly empty the quarantine.
Yes! Unlike competitors who lock page builder support behind paywalls, Tidy Media includes full support for Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, WPBakery, and Bricks in the FREE version. The scanner detects images used in widgets, backgrounds, and template libraries.
Absolutely. Tidy Media scans WooCommerce product featured images, product galleries, variation images, and category thumbnails. This is included FREE, not locked to Pro. HPOS and Cart/Checkout Blocks compatibility is declared.
It depends on your site. Most WordPress sites accumulate unused media over time from deleted posts, theme changes, and plugin trials. Users typically find 20-50% of their media library is unused, especially on older sites or those with frequent content changes.
The Free version covers 90% of use cases: page builder support, WooCommerce, quarantine, and all scanning features. Pro adds advanced field plugins (ACF, Metabox, Pods), scheduled scans, WP-CLI support, email notifications, Slack/Discord webhooks, and multisite support.
Yes! Tidy Media scans all media types: images, videos, audio files, and documents (PDFs, etc.). You can filter results by type to focus on specific file types, and use the minimum file size threshold to find only large files for maximum storage savings.
Yes. The quarantine system ensures no file is permanently deleted without your explicit action. We recommend running a backup before your first cleanup (good practice for any site changes), but the quarantine provides a built-in safety net.
Yes. Tidy Media identifies WordPress-generated thumbnails (files with -150x150, -300x200 patterns) and marks them as "safe" - they can be regenerated if needed. Original files are marked with "caution" to remind you to verify they're truly unused.
