## Description

Gogasys Unused Media Cleaner is a professional tool designed for website administrators
who want to keep their media library lean and optimized. It scans your entire website
to find media files (images, videos, documents) that are not being used in any posts,
pages, custom post types, or common plugins like WooCommerce and ACF.

#### Key Features

 * **Deep Scanning:** Checks post content, featured images, WooCommerce galleries,
   ACF fields, and site icons.
 * **AJAX-Based Processing:** Handles large media libraries without timeouts by 
   processing in batches.
 * **Modern UI:** Clean, responsive dashboard integrated into the WordPress admin.
 * **Safety First:** Performs multiple checks before flagging a file as unused.
 * **Bulk Actions:** Delete multiple unused files at once.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `gogasys-unused-media-cleaner` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` 
    directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. Go to Media -> Unused Media to start your first scan.

## FAQ

### Is it safe to delete the files?

While the plugin uses a robust scanning strategy, we always recommend taking a full
backup of your site and database before performing bulk deletions.

### Does it support page builders?

Yes, it scans post content and meta values where most page builders store their 
data.
