Package to warn editors when deleting media

Questions

Is there a package for umbraco v13 which allows you to see where else on the site images are being used in order to safely remove any older images that are no longer needed in the backoffice? Something like Our.Umbraco.Nexu for v13?

I haven’t used it yet myself but there is a package that lets you view all relations (which is how media is stored to content) in the backoffice!

Of course if someone actually hard links it without using a picker, then there’s no great way to check that, but this should handle most use cases I think :thinking:

This is already built in to v13, make sure to upgrade to v13.8(.1) to get this functionality.

The screenshot shows the media section of a content management system, with the selected media item "684581Main Pia15699 43 9,46 710 1!&Quot;$#+~(){}[]@^'^= %.Whatever 520X300px.Jpg" highlighted, its link displayed, and its references in "MyFormPage" and "Testing inheritance" nodes listed as published items.

A deletion confirmation window warns the user that deleting the selected media file, "684581Main Pia15699 43 9,46 710 1!&Quot;$#+~(){}[]@^'^= %.Whatever 520X300px.Jpg," could lead to broken links on their website because "MyFormPage" and "Testing Inheritance" depend on it. (Captioned by AI)

yes right @sebastiaan its already built in to v13 but I was looking for a bit more functionality and I came across this package which seems to do a good job unused.media.for.umbraco . Thanks @naepalm for your suggestion too. But for now I will go ahead with this unused.media.for.umbraco package in addition to umbraco’s inbuilt warning mechanism.
