Over time, this wastes a significant amount of disk space, especially on large sites with thousands of images. **Imadero** scans your media library, finds all auto-generated thumbnails, and removes them safely. It also updates all references in your posts, pages, and metadata to use the original image instead. #### Features * **Scan** your media library to find all auto-generated thumbnails * **Preview** how many files and how much disk space can be freed before deleting anything * **Delete** all thumbnails in batches (safe for large sites) * **Rewrite** all database references (posts, meta, options) to use the original image * **Prevent** WordPress from generating thumbnails on future uploads * Handles serialized data safely (works with Elementor, Divi, WPBakery, and other page builders) * Handles Gutenberg block attributes (sizeSlug, CSS classes) * Removes WordPress -scaled images and restores the original * Batch processing prevents timeouts on large installations * Works with WooCommerce product images #### How It Works 1. Go to **Tools > Imadero** in your WordPress admin 2. Click **Start Scan** to find all auto-generated thumbnails 3. Review the results: number of thumbnails and disk space used 4. Click **Delete Thumbnails** to remove them and update database references 5. Optionally enable **Disable automatic thumbnail generation** to prevent future thumbnails #### Important Notes * Always create a **backup** before running the cleanup * The deletion process **cannot be undone** * WordPress will automatically fall back to the original image where thumbnails were used * The plugin works per site on Multisite installations ## Installation 1. Upload the `imadero` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress 3. Go to **Tools > Imadero** to start cleaning up ## FAQ ### Will my images break after removing thumbnails? No. WordPress automatically falls back to the original image when a requested size is not available. Your images will still display correctly. ### Does this work with page builders like Elementor or Divi? Yes. Imadero safely handles serialized data in the database, which is how most page builders store their content. ### Can I undo the deletion? No. The thumbnail files are permanently deleted. We strongly recommend creating a backup before running the cleanup. ### Does this affect the original uploaded images? No. Only the auto-generated copies (thumbnails) are removed. Your original images are never touched. ### What happens with future uploads? By default, WordPress will continue to generate thumbnails for new uploads. You can disable this by enabling the Disable automatic thumbnail generation option in the plugin settings. ### Does this work on Multisite? Yes. The plugin works on a per-site basis. Each site administrator can run the cleanup independently. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Imadero” is open source software.
