Hello Rdizazzo,

Thanks for the question about your WordPress Media Library having files that you did not upload. There are possible custom themes or plugins (e.g. BoldGrid) that include many images that are loaded in Media Library. If you think someone has accessed your site, then make sure to change your password and then monitor your site to make sure it's not accessed without your knowledge.

If you have any further questions or comments, please let us know.

Regards,
