From the developer
whatwedo's own description of whatwedo ACF Cleaner, lightly tidied.
We analyze the post of the selected post types against the ACF groups in use. Afterwards we remove all data from deleted groups.
There’s a dry run available (discovery) to see how many fields would get removed. On the actual cleanup you get prompted because it can’t be undone (so make a backup first).
