Media Export & Clean

Media Export & Clean is the definitive media management solution for WordPress administrators who need to export, audit, and clean their media libraries with professional-grade performance. Unlike basic cleanup tools, this plugin is architected for large-scale WordPress installations. It handles thousands of media files effortlessly using batched processing, paginated interfaces, and memory-optimized database indexing. The plugin operates entirely within your WordPress environment—all processing is performed locally on your server without any external API calls, tracking, or remote communication. Key Features

• High-Performance Export – Pack your entire Media Library into a secure ZIP archive using a stable, batched background process.
• Orphaned File Detection – Scan your uploads directory for files not registered in the Media Library.
• Pagination & Global Selection – Manage 10,000+ orphaned files smoothly with a professional paginated UI and Gmail-style global selection.
• Memory-Optimized Engine – Advanced database querying ensures the plugin runs efficiently even on sites with limited server resources.
• Safe Mass Cleanup – Delete confirmed orphaned files in safe batches with real-time progress indicators.
• Security Hardened – Robust path validation, nonce verification, and capability checks for 100% production safety.
