Audit files is designed to perform audits of your {files} table and upload directory. It will cross check that all files in the {files} table have a corresponding physical file, or it will check that all files in the upload directory have a corresponding entry in the {files} table.

This module can be helpful in identifying orphan files that have not been deleted when their corresponding node was removed.

The audit report will ignore .htaccess, directories, and the contents of the color directory.

Files that do not have a parent entry can be deleted from the report, but be sure you really want to delete the file before using this option. Files that have been uploaded via a method that do not create entries in the {files} table will be identified as an orphan. This most commonly applies to uploaded logos for themes.
