Thumbnail Cleaner, Regenerate Thumbnails (from ShortPixels) and Media Cleaner (Pro version for the latter)

Thumbnail Cleaner: Good for focusing on getting rid of old thumbnails (Alternate Image Sizes). OK, here's the situation: You're switching to Real Thumbnail Generator and want to get rid of all the Alternate Image Sizes (AIS) in the Uploads Directory / 'flat file structure'. Clean up thumbnails before installing the Real Thumbnail Renerator is the best option. That's because it will scan and delete files in sub directories and those will need to be re-created too. No big deal unless there are a lot of images.

Clean up thumbnails before installing the Real Thumbnail Renerator is the best option. That's because it will scan and delete files in sub directories and those will need to be re-created too. No big deal unless there are a lot of images. Just a note: Using it with Real Media Physical Folders (or no Plugin) will result in any image file in the 'Thumbnail / AKA AIS' being deleted (CONFIRMED with testing, unless protected by a file permissions setting). IE, it seems to go after any image file in the uploads directory that is not the 'original' image.

Media Cleaner (Pro): Good for identifying any unused images (IE, the full size / original images)
