 * Hey [@symkrilag](https://wordpress.org/support/users/symkrilag/)! 👋
 * Please note that the plugin won’t delete any files. It can remove database entries,
   but no physical files from your server will be removed. For this purpose, you
   can use **Media Cleaner**.
 * In **Easy Mode**, manual deletion is disabled to prevent accidental data loss.
   However, if you enable **Expert Mode**, you will be able to delete items from
   different tabs.
 * Instead of the **“Inactive”** section, go to the **“Not Used”** section. There,
   you will see a red **X** icon to the left of the table name, which you can click
   to delete the data.
 * Hope this helps!
