What it solves
Stop guessing which images are safe to delete. Algo Media Desk organizes your Media Library with unlimited virtual folders that never change URLs, shows where every file is used across pages, posts, products, and popular gallery plugins, and blocks delete/trash while media is still in use. Built for site owners, freelancers, and agencies who want a cleaner library without breaking the front end.
Organize without fear
Virtual folders keep files in the normal uploads path. Rearrange the library as much as you want — front-end image URLs stay the same.
Know before you delete
Cleanup scans show unused, used, and duplicate files. Used media is blocked from delete/trash until you remove it from content first.
Built for real WordPress sites
Usage tracking covers content, featured images, product galleries, and popular gallery/slider plugins — with Pro custom trackers for everything else.

Common questions
Will folders break my image URLs?
No. Folders are virtual. Files stay in the normal uploads path and keep the same URLs on your live site.
What is included in Free vs Pro?
Free includes unlimited top-level folders, usage columns, cleanup scans, delete protection, and built-in gallery adapters. Pro unlocks nested folders, colors, custom trackers, scheduled reports, auto-organize, and role permissions.
Can I delete media that is still used on a page?
No. Algo Media Desk blocks delete and trash for media found in content, featured images, galleries, product images, and similar references. Remove the usage first, then delete.
Does it detect images used by gallery or slider plugins?
Yes. Built-in adapters cover popular gallery and slider plugins when those plugins are active. Pro adds custom shortcode and meta trackers for other plugins.
Will this slow down my website for visitors?
No. Folder browsing and cleanup scans run in wp-admin. Front-end visitors are not affected by how you organize the Media Library.
Does Algo Media Desk send data to external servers?
No. Folder relationships and settings stay in your WordPress database. Nothing is sent to Algorisys.
