This plugin works – plain and simple. I was recommended another plugin but I kept
getting critical errors, it never compelted a full scan. This worked first time.
I got some red screens with errors but they were Cloudflare errors not website errors.
I managed to locate 4GB of log files and other junk to clear. Thanks for the great
and very useful plugin.

Website with a lot of images and when I went to create a staging copy of my site
to do so updates, I was surprised my site had exploded in size… and I didnt have
enough remaining space left in my hosting plan. I was contemplating an expensive
hosting upgrade to get more storage space. With a Disk Usage Insights scan it found
TWO 13gb files that I had forgotten where there… well i didnt really know? I am 
also switching to a new webp/avif creator and several months prior had discovered
I was creating TONS of unnecessary file sizes and I ran a tool to wipe them out…
not realizing it created 26gb of zip files of the deleted images. BOOM… there was
my 26gb explosion in file size. in regards to my needed staging site copy it was
really 56gb of data lost. Worth every penny… which I paid nothing! Looking for a
donate option.

I downloaded this plugin months ago and thought it was helpful. But recently I checked
and found out this plugin changed. It now has an even better interface that is beautiful
and much easier to view. Wow, I really like how this plugin looks now. Months ago
it was okay but very useful, and probably I was grateful for it. But now I find 
myself enjoying how beautiful the new data interface is and so glad I have this 
plugin in times of need. I also like how now I am able to directly browse some folders
on the page with folder size. Amazing plugin. I think this plugin is pretty much
perfect now. Helped me so much in times of need and very easy to use. I recommend
using both Wordpress backend and FTP alongside this plugin. (EDIT: To further clarify,
here’s an example. Deleting files directly from the Media page via Wordpress backend
may not delete all related files, so I like to directly check via FTP for more efficient
work.)
