## وضاحت

**Media Sifter** helps you reclaim storage by finding media files that are not used
anywhere on your site. Run a safe **dry-run scan**, preview results, and **bulk-
delete** only what you confirm.

### Features

 * 🔍 **Scan for orphans** — detects media not referenced in posts/pages or attached
   to content.
 * 🧮 **Storage stats** — see how many files and how much space can be recovered.
 * 🧰 **Batch scanning** — avoids timeouts on large libraries.
 * ✅ **Safe by default** — dry-run first; delete only after confirmation.
 * 🔒 **Admin-only & secure** — capability checks and nonces on all actions.

### What counts as “in use”?

 * Media **attached** to a post (parent set).
 * Media **referenced by URL** in post content or basic meta (e.g., featured image).
 * Resized variants (e.g., `-150x150`) linked to the base file.

> Note: Deep scanning of page builders (Elementor/Divi), custom fields, and complex
> meta references are Pro-candidate features.

## انسٽاليشن

 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` or install via the Plugins screen.
 2. Activate the plugin.
 3. Go to **Media  Media Sifter** and click **Start Scan**.

## FAQ

### Is it safe?

Yes. Scans are read-only. Deletions require explicit confirmation. Always keep a
recent backup.

### Will it detect images used by page builders?

The Lite version does a conservative scan. Deep scanning for builders/ACF is planned
for a Pro version.

### Can I restore deleted files?

Deletion is permanent. Always back up your site before deleting.
