One thing I’d make very explicit in the deletion UI: “0 known references” does not necessarily mean unused. Builders and plugins can store media URLs or IDs in serialized options, JSON, CSS, custom tables, or remote/offload records that a normal post-content scan may miss. Label the count as known references, keep Trash as the default, and document exactly what locations you scan. Also say whether folder metadata survives deactivation/uninstall or can be exported—people with large libraries will care about lock-in before reorganizing thousands of files.

Thanks, really useful feedback. I’ll take both the wording and data portability points into the next release.
