How to delete media image when deleting product permanently?

  • Hi WC,

    I would like to ask if there’s a way to delete media image attached to a product when I’m deleting the product permanently?
    It’s a tedious task to delete the product and then go to media library to delete the attached image.

    As you know images takes a lot of space from the server.

    Hope you guys can help.

    Thank you.

    I don’t think WordPress does this because images can be part of multiple posts/products since you can insert images.

    Once you’ve trashed and deleted the product, gallery should have an ‘unattached’ filter.

    Ohh, that sucks. I wonder how other people with E-commerce handle deletion of hundred of products and also the product gallery and featured image altogether.

    If they also do it manually, its gonna be a pain.

    Thanks anyway.

    If you wanted to be strict about image space, you could run a query to delete on un-attached images. You will want to make sure all images you need are attached to something though.

    Okay. I’ve checked the unattached options under media gallery, but it seems like every images are unattached even though they are set as Feature Image on Product Page.

    All of my product images are attached: https://cld.wthms.co/j6wa/QQrUJGn4. May be due to how I imported them though.
