Enables or disables the automatic image scanning process through CRON.When set to “Yes”, Magento will

automatically run the scan process for images at the defined frequency and time.

This ensures your image database remains up to date without requiring manual initiation of the scan.

Allows you to choose the specific types of scans that should be performed automatically.

Available options:

• Product Scan – Scans all product images to identify unused or missing files.

• CMS Scan – Scans CMS pages and blocks for unused or broken image references

.• Category Scan – Scans category-level images for detection and verification.

Multiple options can be selected to perform combined scanning operations in a single CRON cycle.

Defines how often the automatic image scanning process runs via CRON.

Available values:

• Daily – Runs every day.

• Weekly – Runs once a week.

• Monthly – Runs once a month.

Select a frequency based on your media update rate and business maintenance policy.

Specifies the exact time (HH:MM:SS) at which the automatic scan should begin.

Example: 01:30:00 will start scanning every day/week/month at 1:30 AM.

It is recommended to set scanning during off-peak hours to minimize performance impact on live customers.

Enables or disables the email notification system for the Image Cleanup extension.

When set to “Yes”, the system automatically sends an email update after every scheduled

cleanup job (based on CRON execution).

These emails summarise operation results — including the number of images moved,

deleted, or any issues detected during the process.

Specify one or more recipient email addresses to receive cleanup notifications.

Use a comma (, ) separator to add multiple addresses (e.g., [email protected],

[email protected]).

Ensure the listed email addresses belong to team members responsible for monitoring store

maintenance or DevOps activities.

Selects which email template to use when a scheduled cleanup completes successfully.

Default Template: Image Cleanup Success (Default) This email includes details such as:

• Date/time of cleanup

• Total images processed

• Space saved

• Next scheduled run time

Defines the template used when a cleanup job fails due to an error or incomplete process.

Default Template: Image Cleanup Failure (Default)

This alert helps administrators quickly identify and resolve CRON or permission issues that

prevent cleanup completion.

Recommended for proactive system monitoring and maintenance tracking.

Defines the number of images processed in a single batch during scan or cleanup

operations.

Example: If set to 100, the extension will process 100 images per cycle before proceeding to

the next batch.

Adjust this value based on your server’s capacity and media directory size — lower for

limited resources, higher for powerful servers.

Enables or disables the logging system for all image cleanup activities.

When set to “Yes”, detailed logs are stored in:

var/log/magedelight/md_imagecleanup.log

Each log entry contains the image name, path, admin username, action (deleted/moved),

and date/time of the operation.

These logs help administrators track actions and audit cleanup history for troubleshooting or verification.

If enabled, the system will automatically clear old log entries based on the defined

retention period.

This prevents log files from becoming excessively large and consuming unnecessary disk space.

Defines the retention period (in days) for log records.

Example: If set to 7, logs older than 7 days will be deleted automatically.

Helps maintain optimal performance and ensures only recent logs are retained.

Sets how often the log auto-cleaning CRON job will execute.

Available values:

• Daily – Runs every day.

• Weekly – Runs once a week.

• Monthly – Runs once a month.

Recommended: Daily to keep logs lean and current.

Specifies the time of day (HH:MM:SS) when the CRON job for log auto-cleaning should

run.

Example: 02:00:00 runs at 2 AM daily.

Schedule during off-peak hours to minimize server load impact.

Category sections.

Displays the count of images that were restored from trash back to their original locations.

Useful for tracking accidental deletions or verified image recoveries.

Indicates how many images have been permanently deleted from the system after review

or CRON cleanup.

This helps in planning cleanup actions and capacity management.

Provides a breakdown of how many images from each module (Product, CMS, Category)

have been moved to trash.

Gives clarity on where most unused images originate.

Lists the number of images permanently deleted per module type — Product, CMS, and

Category — along with total reclaimed space per category.

This helps you analyze restore activities and recovery trends over time.

Lists all configured CRON jobs related to image cleanup, including job name, enable status,

CRON state, and timestamps for creation, scheduling, and execution.

If no jobs appear, it means automatic cleanup or scanning has not been configured yet.

Begins the image scanning process for product images.

When clicked, the system starts analyzing the media directory to identify images that are

not associated with any products in the catalog.

Note: Do not close the window until the scan is complete, as it runs in the active browser session.

Moves all unused product images found during the scan to the Trash Folder instead of

deleting them immediately.

This provides a safe intermediate step, allowing you to review or restore images later from

the Trash before permanent removal.

Permanently deletes all unused product images detected during the scan.

Use this option only after reviewing the scan results, as the images removed by this action

cannot be recovered unless backed up.

and number of unused images detected.

Each operation’s details appear in the Processing Log, helping you track performance and

progress.
