Thumbnail Remover and Size Manager 2.2 is a safer and more complete media-maintenance workflow for WordPress.

Instead of deleting thumbnails blindly, the plugin now helps you:

Preview cleanup results before removing files
Move thumbnails to plugin Trash instead of deleting permanently
Create a zip backup of the exact matching thumbnails before moving them to Trash
Restore trashed thumbnails later if needed
Process large libraries in batches with visible progress
Detect orphan thumbnails left behind on disk
Detect probably unused media items across post content, featured images, and common builder data
Regenerate missing image sizes in batches
Review per-size analytics including file counts, storage usage, missing sizes, and orphan counts
Review recent activity logs and reporting summaries for cleanup, restore, backup, and regeneration workflows
Disable selected image sizes for future uploads
Create zip backups for all uploads or a specific year/month folder
Schedule recurring cleanup runs with configurable frequency, size scope, and folder scope

This release is built for site owners, developers, agencies, and anyone trying to reduce thumbnail bloat without risking accidental data loss.
