Locate and remove orphaned media from the WordPress media library.
Quick links: Using | Installing | Contributing | Support
To locate orphaned media — files in your uploads directory that aren't recognized within WordPress as attachments — you may run the following command.
$ wp media find-orphans
This will locate orphaned media. If you wish to automatically remove these files, you may use the --cleanup flag to automatically purge the orphaned media from the filesystem.
