Does this work on a multisite? I migrated to a multisite a while back. Now I have a mess of upload folders and many duplicate files. I wonder if it can pick out the files that aren’t on use on any of the child sites.
There are multiple domains involved, too.
Does the tool check only versus the media library or does it check for manual files on posts and pages?
i accidentally run this plugin in my site, nd sadly there are so many unattached images are creating after that. it continues still after uninstalling the plugin too.. how to stop working this plugin ?
]]>it is messing up the characters…. so then they cannot be deleted using the media library UI because the path is wrong.
example, your plugin creates this:
[audio src="https://localhost/edit6tester/wp-content/uploads/2014?6?1-Clocks-Coldplay.mp3" /]
instead of
[audio src="https://localhost/edit6tester/wp-content/uploads/2014/6/1-Clocks-Coldplay.mp3" /]
and the original file name contain no unusual characters.
I am using WAMP on windows localhost for testing.

This plugin really helps!

Though, one bug: It also copies files like .htaccess or any file it finds, so it’s a little unnerving to find .htaccess show up in your Media Library. This should be fixed, or users beware.
Also, I suspect that the Media Library is generating thumbnails for images that have none, every time you load the Media Library list in the Dashboard. For example, TIEmediahelper found imageA.jpg as a loose file, and created a Media Library entry for it. When I went back to view the Media Library, then there was an auto-generated thumbnail for the imageA.jpg that I could see, and a file that was also created called imageA-480×270.jpg, and then another file called imageA-480×270-44×24.jpg. So the Media Library must have created the imageA-480×270.jpg, which was viewed as being an orphaned file, and so when I went to look at the list, Media Library created another thumbnail imageA-480×270-44×24.jpg. This could get recursive if you are looking at the Media Library WHILE the TIEmediahelper is running!
(In my example, I have Media Settings for 480×270 and 44×24 for the WordPress auto-generated image sizes, hence those names.)
