 * I have an issue in my WordPress library: I found more than 8M broken files and
   I can’t remove them all as I can only bulk remove 50 at a time, I’ve also tried
   media cleanup plugin but it takes a very long time just to scan all the library,
   I’ve waited for more than 5hours just for 7%.
   Do you suggestion any alternative?

 * Are there any specific reasons for a large number of broken links? Did the Mixed
   Content cause the issue?

 * No idea, maybe it was due to bulk optimization process with an unstable version
   of Imagify it generates all these files, some of them have same as my original
   pictures titles and other are just numbers..
