Sitecore Powershell: Remove all items that don’t have media attachedSitecore Powershell:

This script will scan children of root (currently set too \sitecore\media library ) and return any items that do not have a BlobField specified (i.e. have no media attached).

To use this script:

1. Set root by replacing \sitecore\media library
2. Optionally recurse through all children and children etc by adding -Recurse to line 6 (i.e. the line that begins with $items =):
   
   $items = Get-ChildItem -Path $sourcePath.Paths.FullPath -Recurse |
   
3. Run this script initially to see what is returned in the hash table.
4. Replace line 33 (the line that reads $item nested in the middle of Get-MediaItemWithNoBlob) with the following when you want to execute the operation:
   
   Get-MediaItemWithNoBlob | Remove-Item
   

$sourcePath = Get-Item "/sitecore/media library";
$systemFolderToExclude = "System";
$templateNameToExclude = "FDAMediaFolder";
$nodeTemplateNameToExclude = "Node";

Write-Host "Finding items with no blobs: " $sourcePath.Paths.FullPath;

function Get-MediaItemWithNoBlob {
    $items = Get-ChildItem -Path $sourcePath.Paths.FullPath | 
        Where-Object { ($_.Name -NotMatch $systemFolderToExclude) -and ($_.TemplateID -ne [Sitecore.TemplateIDs]::MediaFolder) -and ($_.TemplateName -NotMatch $templateNameToExclude) -and ($_.TemplateName -NotMatch $nodeTemplateNameToExclude) }
    
    foreach($item in $items) {
        if(!(HasBlob($item))) {
            if(!(HasChildren($item))) {
                $item
            }
        }
    }
}
function HasBlob($item)
{
  $name = $_.Name
  $mediaItem = [Sitecore.Data.Items.MediaItem]$item
  $blobField = $mediaItem.InnerItem.Fields["blob"]
  ![string]::IsNullOrEmpty($blobField)
}
function HasChildren($item)
{
    $contOfImages = 0
    $children = $item.Children
    foreach($chItem in $children){
            $contOfImages++
    }
    $contOfImages -gt 0
}
