No. All processing occurs locally on your server. The plugin does not communicate with external APIs. ### Where are the exported ZIP files stored? ZIP files are created inside: ``` wp-content/uploads/mediexcl-exports/ ``` You can download them directly from the plugin interface. ### What are orphaned files? Orphaned files are files located in your uploads directory that are not associated with any Media Library entry. These can accumulate over time and consume unnecessary storage. ### Is it safe to delete orphaned files? In most cases yes, but it is recommended to review detected files before deletion. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/668c0898e162d4cb79ab39fd10ebc046d73fed7c073f83dc1168014916335599? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[I really Love this Plugin -Beacuse I was looking for this type of plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-really-love-this-plugin-beacuse-i-was-looking-for-this-type-of-plugin/)󠁿 [hasan009](https://profiles.wordpress.org/hasan009/) April 11, 2026 1 reply This Media Export & Clean plugin is really helpful for any website.
