remove un-assigned product images from media

[palola53523288]

one of my clients is having a store with 30k+ products, recently, he got product photography and uploaded new images to the magento 2 backend. Now all the previous product images occupy 7 GB space in media folder but it got messed up with similar names of new and old product images.

I'm looking for a solution or a module which can identify un-assigned product images from the database and remove them to avoid the manual task of looking into each separately.

I want to make sure that the correctly used images are not deleted and in the process of deletion, the database isn't crashed.

Suggest me some good solutions or modules.

Hi,

I think by un-assigned product images, you mean un-used product images which are occupying extra space to make the media folder bulky.

Explore our Magento 2 image clean extension to satisfy your requirement of removing images from media catalog which are no longer in use. 

Have a look at the live demo to check the functionality you are looking for.

Hi there,

you can use Store Manager for Magento (there's a trial version available free for 14 days) to run store diagnostics for images and troubleshoot the issues. There are three options:

• detect missing and broken images
• images not linked to any product
• products without any image
