ES File Cleanup is a Joomla component that combines media inventory, 9 file-usage checks, duplicate detection, and a managed Quarantine with Restore, Download and Delete options. Scan first, inspect the results, and take action when you are ready.

Main Features

• Media Inventory: Build an inventory of files from your media folders.
• 9 Usage Checks: Look for references in articles, modules, custom fields, categories, menus, database records, and source files.
• Unused File Results: Find media files with no references detected by the checks.
• File Details: Review known locations, open related Joomla content, preview images, and inspect file information.
• Duplicate Detection: Group files with identical content and see estimated extra storage used by matching copies.
• Search & Filters: Filter results by file type, name, size, age, image dimensions, and known reference count.
• CSV Export: Export matching results for offline review.
• Bulk Actions: Select multiple files and process operations in batches.
• Quarantine & Restore: Move selected files into a Quarantine, download individual files or ZIP archives, and restore files when needed.
• Permanent Delete: Remove quarantined files when you choose to do so.
• Operations Log: Review quarantine, restore, and delete activity.
