How to use Content Cleanup safely
- Run a Database scan or Full scan first.
- Open Dashboard > Content Cleanup and review the filtered suspicious post rows.
- Use filters such as Author, Category, Type, Language/script, and Keyword to narrow the result set.
- Prefer backup-backed actions before trashing content.
- For real posts or pages that were modified, use Restore previous revision when a clean revision is available.
- For suspicious revisions, move them to trash after verifying they are not needed.
- Use Trash Cleanup only after confirming the trashed content should be permanently removed.
