    i manage a furniture store website. they’ve been posting thousands of pictures of products for years. however, some of the posts have been deleted over time as they’ve sold those particular products. but all the product pictures remain in the /wp-content/uploads folder. that folder is getting so large that its eating up all the available space in the hosting account.

    is there any way to identify what pictures are no longer referenced in any posts (i.e those posts that have been trashed)?

  • Hi,

    If you uploaded picture to post, then deleted that post, picture is ”Unattached”.
    So in media manager you can choose Unattached images from drop down menu.

    Be careful, maybe you have some unattached pictures which are still used somewhere on website, logo, header, anything … Pictures are sorted by date …
