Excessive images to delete

    Hello,

    On my site, there are three languages managed by WPML and I import my product data using WP All Import. In the initial imports, we made the mistake of importing the product images repeatedly, and by the time we realized the site had become significantly slower, it was too late to easily remove the excess images.
    We tested your plugin, Media Cleaner, and had a lot of trouble getting it to complete step 4 (it kept stopping). At one point, we managed to get it to display the images it had found before crashing, and we saw that there were supposedly more than 88GB of images (although the site should not have more than 68GB, so we didn’t fully understand).

    However, to permanently delete these images (only 140,000 were found), it informed us that it would take 2.5 hours for every 1,000 images. This is far too long to be viable.

    Is there any way we can help the program, for example by deleting images from the site folders beforehand?

    Thank you in advance.

    Hey @novanum! ??

    If you are experiencing issues during the scan, please check your PHP logs and developer tools for any messages that could provide more information about the issue. Without this information, it is hard to determine the cause.

    The size of the scanned media is the sum of the file sizes displayed in the table, so make sure the scanned files are what you expect them to be.

    Where did you see that the delete will be this time for 1000 files? Also, please note that the processing time of the scan and deletion depends on your server’s capacities. You can adjust the number of files sent in each batch within the plugin’s settings, but the speed of the process is ultimately determined by your server’s capabilities.
