+### gotosocial admin media prune orphaned
+
+This command can be used to prune orphaned media from your GoToSocial.
+
+Orphaned media is defined as media that is in storage under a key that matches the format used by GoToSocial, but which does not have a corresponding database entry. This is useful for excising files that may be remaining from a previous installation, or files that were placed in storage mistakenly.
+
+**This command only works when GoToSocial is not running, since it acquires an exclusive lock on storage. Stop GoToSocial first before running this command!**
+
+```text
+prune orphaned media from storage
+
+Usage:
+ gotosocial admin media prune orphaned [flags]
+
+Flags:
+ --dry-run perform a dry run and only log number of items eligible for pruning (default true)
+ -h, --help help for orphaned
+```
+
+By default, this command performs a dry run, which will log how many items can be pruned. To do it for real, add `--dry-run=false` to the command.
+
+Example (dry run):
+
+```bash
+gotosocial admin media prune orphaned
+```
+
+Example (for real):
+
+```bash
+gotosocial admin media prune orphaned --dry-run=false
+```
