About Kous Trash Product Image Cleaner for Wo…
From the official readme · v1.4.5Description
Kous Trash Product Image Cleaner scans WooCommerce products already in the Trash and identifies product images that are not used elsewhere.
Instead of deleting those files immediately, the plugin moves them into a recoverable quarantine. You can preview, search, filter, restore, or permanently delete individual images or selected groups of images.
Main features
- Preview product images before moving them to quarantine.
- Move only images considered safe and unused elsewhere.
- Protect images used by active products, variations, pages, or posts.
- Preview quarantined images in a larger lightbox.
- Search quarantined images by filename or source product.
- Filter by source product and product categories or brands.
- Restore or permanently delete selected images.
- Restore or permanently delete a single image directly from its card.
- Display source product, quarantine date, and file size.
- Optional automatic permanent deletion after 30, 60, or 90 days.
- Automatic deletion is disabled by default.
- Batch processing helps avoid timeouts on large product catalogs.
Always keep a current backup before performing bulk media operations.

Can I restore only one image?
Yes. You can restore a single image or select multiple images for bulk restoration.
Does quarantine use additional disk space?
