I recommend checking whether the images your plugin is about to delete are attached to other posts. Otherwise, you might accidentally remove images you intended to keep. Additionally, it’s best to display a clear warning message before deletion to prevent unintended data loss. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/91db05863fab71aeade0dec63660fe332672727d0f7d5dac4fec60fb76f8547e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Best plugin ever!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/best-plugin-ever-503/)󠁿 [Stefano](https://profiles.wordpress.org/stefacchio/) January 30, 2025 Absolutely a must-have for not taking up unnecessary server space. it should be integrated into wordpress!
