New: optional “Delete All Data on Uninstall” setting (Settings → Data Management). When enabled, deleting the plugin now cleanly removes its database tables, options, scheduled tasks, and the Media Sweep trash folder. Disabled by default, so your scan history and trash are preserved unless you opt in — including on multisite, where each site’s choice is respected.
1.0.5
Fixed scan aborting at 40-53% with “WordPress database error: Processing the value for the following field failed: notes” on sites where one image is referenced in many posts/pages
Notes column upgraded from TEXT to LONGTEXT and applied to existing installs automatically on upgrade
Each file’s recorded usage is now capped at 10 entries with a “+ N more usage locations” summary so the database stays lean
A single problematic row no longer aborts the entire scan — it is now logged as an error and the rest of the batch continues
Results table now shows the first usage location inline next to the filename so it is obvious where each file is used without clicking
Fixed the usage-notes popover overflowing the viewport when a file has many usages — it now scrolls inside a fixed-height container
1.0.4
Dynamic batch size based on server resources (max_execution_time and memory_limit)
Smaller batches (20-30) for limited shared hosting, larger batches (50-100) for well-resourced servers
Dynamic API request timeout scaled to server’s max_execution_time (30s-300s)
Improved user experience with smoother progress feedback during scans
1.0.3
Fixed scan getting stuck at “0 / X files” on hosting with limited server resources
Improved pause/resume mechanism to correctly maintain file count progress across interruptions
Added API request timeout handling with automatic retry for slow servers
Enhanced error display when scan encounters issues instead of silently failing
Better resource management for servers with low max_execution_time or memory_limit
Reduced batch size from 100 to 50 files for smoother progress updates and better user feedback
1.0.2
Compatibility with WordPress 6.9
Improved review notice banner with better user experience
1.0.1
Fixed file status not being reactivated when previously trashed/deleted files are found again during new scans
