Ad Group Cleaner

Ad Group Cleaner — Bulk Remove Assets with Policy Issues from Google Ads Stop wasting hours manually clicking through hundreds of ad groups to remove flagged assets. Ad Group Cleaner automates the entire process — scanning your ad groups, opening each one, finding images and videos with policy violations, removing them, and saving — all while you sit back and watch. Built specifically for Google Ads managers and agencies who deal with large accounts where assets get flagged for policy issues. Instead of spending an entire afternoon clicking "Edit → Remove assets with issues → Save" on each ad group one by one, Ad Group Cleaner does it all for you in minutes. WHAT DOES IT DO? Ad Group Cleaner is a Chrome extension that automates bulk removal of assets (images and videos) that have been flagged with policy issues in your Google Ads ad groups. It works in two phases: Phase 1 — Smart Scanning: The extension scans your ad groups list page and collects all ad group IDs automatically. It reads directly from Google Ads' internal data store for fast, reliable extraction. It handles pagination seamlessly — whether you have 50 ad groups or 5,000, it collects them all. Phase 2 — Automated Cleaning: For each ad group, the extension navigates to the edit page, finds the image and video sections, clicks Edit, looks for the "Remove assets with issues" button, clicks it, saves the dialog, and saves the ad group. If an ad group has no flagged assets, it skips it instantly and moves on. No wasted time. The entire process runs automatically. You click Start once, and the extension handles everything. A live status banner stays visible at the top of your Google Ads page so you always know what's happening — which ad group is being processed, how many are done, and how many remain. WHO IS THIS FOR? — Google Ads account managers handling large accounts with hundreds or thousands of ad groups — Digital marketing agencies managing multiple client accounts where policy flags pile up — App developers running app install campaigns across many ad groups with image and video creative — Anyone tired of the repetitive click-click-click workflow of manually removing flagged assets one ad group at a time If you've ever had Google Ads flag a batch of your image or video assets across dozens of ad groups and dreaded the manual cleanup, this extension is for you. KEY FEATURES Automatic Asset Removal The extension handles both image and video assets. It opens the edit dialog for each asset type, finds the "Remove assets with issues" button, removes the flagged assets, and saves — all automatically. You choose which asset types to clean in Settings: videos only, images only, or both. Two-Phase Architecture Phase 1 (Planning) collects all your ad group IDs by reading Google Ads' internal data. Phase 2 (Execution) processes each ad group by direct navigation — no need to return to the list page between ad groups. This makes the process fast and reliable even for very large accounts. Parallel Tab Processing (Licensed) Licensed users can run multiple tabs simultaneously. The extension divides your ad groups evenly across tabs — for example, 2 tabs each handle half the work, cutting your processing time in half. Up to 10 parallel tabs are supported. Each tab works on its own exclusive slice of ad groups, so there's no overlap or duplication. Live Status Banner A persistent banner appears at the top of your Google Ads page showing real-time progress: which phase you're in, how many ad groups have been processed, and which one is currently being worked on. The banner changes color by phase — blue during scanning, purple during execution, green when done. You always know the extension is alive and working. Smart Auto-Navigation Click Start from any Google Ads page — or even from a completely different website — and the extension will automatically navigate to your ad groups page. It preserves your account parameters so you land in the right account. After navigation, it shows a green "GO" badge on the extension icon and a purple banner on the page prompting you to click Start again. No more "Navigate to your ad groups page first" errors. Resume & Stop Need to close your laptop? The extension saves progress after every ad group. Come back later, click Resume, and it picks up exactly where it left off. Hit Stop at any time to pause the process cleanly. Your progress is never lost. Detailed Activity Log Every action is logged in real-time: which ad group is being processed, whether assets were cleaned or skipped, any errors encountered, and timing information. The activity log is accessible from the sidebar and updates live as the extension works. Error Tracking Errors are tracked separately with full context — the ad group name, the step that failed, and the error message. The Errors panel shows a count badge and lets you copy all errors to clipboard for debugging or support requests. Premium UI A clean, modern interface with sidebar navigation. Switch between Dashboard, Activity Log, Errors, and Settings with one click. The power button gives you a clear start/stop control, and progress stats (Processed, Cleaned, Skipped, Errors) are always visible at a glance. HOW DOES IT WORK? 1.
