Unused product image deletion tool?

75 votes

We have a lot of images now in the product image fodler on our EKM shop that are no longer used by products. Can we have a tool that will check for images no longer in use and offer a list of files to delete. Knowing that when I decide to delete them my shop will not be corrupted?

You can batch upload images but, currently, you cant batch check that images are live

I’ve got a lot of unused images that over the years the products are discontinued, so I’ve deleted the product,

Is it possible to add a button to delete any unallocated images in one go ?

It’ll also free up your servers too.

Great idea. I have thousands of unused images on EKM. Being able to easily remove them would make management of used images easier.

To see what files are currently in use so I don't delete the wrong ones.

And also could this show when an image is used as a secondary image, even if it is not used as a main product image?

That still doesn't show which images are unused though?
