The Abandoned Media Tool finds items in your media library not linked to any pages or posts on your site. Have you ever uploaded a picture and ended up not using it or maybe you deleted a page and left the media in the library? These files just sit in our system and no one can see them. This Abandoned Media is essentially inaccessible to the public.
You will have until November 1, 2024 to review and save any abandoned media that you would like to keep. We will remove all abandoned media content from the current system on November 1, 2024. By using this tool, you can ensure that you retain any relevant and valuable media before it is removed.
On the Abandoned Media Tool page, you will see any county or topic site you can access. Choose the site you'd like to review and you will be presented with each piece of abandoned media. Click on the first media Icon or Image, and you'll see a new page with Download File and Mark Reviewed buttons.
Download File
Downloads the file to your local computer, allowing you to store the media for later use.
Mark Reviewed
Marks the content as reviewed and moves it out of the Pending folder so you can keep up with your review progress. Please Note: This pending status is local to each user so this will not hide the content from anyone else with access to your site.
Whether you have reviewed the media or not, abandoned items will be removed on November 1.
Access the Abandoned Media Tool now to review and download any content.
