Overview
By default, when you delete a post or page, any associated media files or attachments to that post do not get deleted. Keeping these orphan files to your server will eat up a lot of precious web space for no reason.
Using this plugin when you delete a post, any associated attachments will also get deleted automatically.
Before deleting any media file or attachment the plugin smartly checks that the attachment is not in use elsewhere, i.e. on any other post, page, or product.

Great Plugin, Super Simple To Use

I downloaded this plugin just a few minutes ago and already know it’s exactly what I need. The only thing I’d like to see changed is the opacity setting of the announcement banners that are displayed. They’re a bit hard to read until you hover over them. I’m going to try and contact the developer to see if I can get a modification done.
Good working
