 * I have a review site that I have been doing for 20 years and I figured it was
   time to get rid of stuff older than 10 years. This meant 1000’s of images of 
   the originals, the ones that that the theme and WordPress create plus the .webp
   versions would no longer be needed. After trying many, many plugins that just
   did not work or lacking, this one was recommended by Copilot- FTW! It’s fast 
   and found over 11,000 images (this was after I manually removed images from folders
   I had created for phpNUKE) not being used, which was about 5-6 GB of space. I
   have FTP access to my sites so I tested what it did. I selected a few post, noted
   what images were used and which ones were created as extras sizes and not being
   used for the posts. This plugin found the extras ones and skipped over the in
   use images. When I tagged items for trash, the images where still their folders,
   but when I said to delete the test files it did remove ONLY the file(s) I had
   tagged as trash. This was all done with the free version! Thank you!
