Bulk Delete Attachments

Bulk Delete Attachments is a powerful cleanup feature included in the BulkWP plugin, designed to help you manage and remove media files efficiently without manual effort. It allows you to precisely control which attachments are deleted by letting you choose whether to remove only attached files, only unattached files, or both, as well as filter attachments by specific MIME types.

The plugin also offers advanced filtering options, such as restricting deletions to attachments older than a specified number of days and deciding whether those files should be moved to the Trash or deleted permanently. To prevent performance issues on large sites, you can limit the process to deleting only the first X attachments, which is especially useful when dealing with more than 1,000 files and avoiding server timeouts. All attachment deletion tasks can also be scheduled to run automatically.

In addition, Bulk Delete Attachments supports cleanup based on user meta fields. You can delete data using only a user meta key name or narrow it further by matching both the meta key and its value. Similar to attachment deletion, you can limit the operation to the first X users to prevent timeouts on large databases, and you can schedule these user meta cleanup actions as well.
