Media Organizer audits and quarantines unused Joomla files
Media Organizer helps administrators identify media files that appear to be unused and move or delete them after review.
Unused images and documents accumulate on Joomla sites after articles are edited, modules are retired, or extensions are removed. Joomla's core Media Manager can browse, upload, rename and delete files, and the editor can insert media, but it does not generally map every file back to references across content, modules, templates and third-party extensions. A template override is not a natural solution to that audit; administrators usually inspect the filesystem manually, write a site-specific script, or install an extension.
According to the listing, Media Organizer goes beyond those core tools by scanning for references, showing its search evidence, and offering quarantine before permanent deletion. It also claims duplicate detection, image optimisation and editing, a command-line interface, scheduled reporting and monitoring for 404 requests to quarantined paths. The listing says automated scans and the command line report only, rather than deleting files without an administrator's confirmation.
This is aimed at administrators of media-heavy, long-lived sites, agencies maintaining several Joomla installations, and teams that need an auditable cleanup process. A small site with few files, or one whose administrator is comfortable checking the Media Manager and filesystem manually, may have no practical use for it.
It is a paid download, but the listing does not state the price. Norbert Graup's directory profile shows five other extensions and no reviews for this one. Before installing, check the Joomla 6 compatibility claim, the scope of third-party extension profiles, quarantine retention and restoration details, backup requirements, permissions, support terms, and how false positives are handled.
