This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
You are developing a site and want to stop using WPML, keeping it in English only. You need to remove over 20,000 media files translated into German, French, and Spanish, and clean up all WPML residual data from the database.
Solution:
To remove all translated media files, which WPML does not duplicate but only adds entries in the database, follow these steps:
1. Navigate to Media -> Library.
2. Filter by a secondary language.
3. Show in list mode.
4. Select the images and delete them in bulk.
To delete translated content and clean up the database, including icl_* tables and meta keys, follow the steps described in this documentation.
Please remember to create a full site backup before proceeding with these steps.
If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If further assistance is needed, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
