 * After having used it, I don’t really understand what this plugin does?
 * Basically I used a couple of plugins which conspired against me, and duplicated
   a LOT of images in my media folder. So I used this, went through all 25,000(!)
   of the “unattached” images, and deleted them all… unfortunately it seems this
   plugin has a different opinion of “unattached” than I do, and I’ve now pretty
   much lost all of my images!
 * Worse than that, my media folder is still showing all of the images as broken
   links.. cool! Nice touch
 * Thankfully the site is still in the early stages and I have time to rebuild, 
   but “delete” would be great if it moved them to another folder first (in a “trash”
   style with permanent delete feature
