User sentiment analysis

Users generally appreciate the WordPress plugin for its effectiveness in freeing up disk space by removing old, unused thumbnails and successfully regenerating all image thumbnails. They find it easy to use and reliable, even with large libraries, making it valuable for managing media and resolving issues after site migrations or theme changes. However, users note several drawbacks, such as the plugin not working reliably with extremely large quantities of images (e.g., over 100k), potentially overwriting EXIF data like camera settings, and causing broken image links in some cases. It hasn't been updated for years, raising concerns about compatibility with newer WordPress versions.

It might work for small websites. But that’s it. It won’t let you disable unwanted thumbnails. Some thumbnails are registered only for specific actions, but this plugin will create them too. At the end, if you have woocommerce, all your produc tphotos will have blog sizes too. There’s no resume action, so with already over 10k you’ll be getting access expired. Retry link won’t work. At the end, after wasting a week with this plugin, I’m going for other paid versions.

This plugin is amazing and helped me delete thousands of images but I have too many (100k+, Yes I’m very productive) and it always end u failing after processing 80k-90k images. Is there a way for the plugin to start with the very first images uploaded and finish with the most recent ones ? That would be amazing ! Thank you for the plugin and looking forward to your answer, Best

As indicated in the title: actually removes unused thumbnails. This is one of the rarest functions in this field. I recommend this plugin!
