If you experiment with plugins—you know, trying eight of them out to pick the one that works for you—or you have been around for a while and have activated, deactivated, and deleted a bunch of plugins over the years, Plugins Garbage Collector (Database Cleanup) is for you.Complaint: This plugin has not been updated for more than three years, nor does the developer pay any attention to Support here. Nonetheless, Plugins Garbage Collector (Database Cleanup) keeps on working …
Love this plugin. Does what it says. Detects unused tables from deleted plugins and allows to delete them.
If some tables with same prefix are not selectable you can use other database management software like phpmyadmin to delete them.
Also be careful and always double check before deleting database tables.
Thanks for a really nice plugin. I’ve used it on dozens of websites and it it works flawless.
Here are a few suggestions for UX improvements that would make it five stars:
Add a “Delete all unsused tables” button as a shortcut
Make it possible to sort the rows by clicking “Table name”, “Records”, “KBytes” and “Plugin name”
Display a summary of the amount of saved KBs after deleting unused tables.
Keep upp the good work!
This plugin is extremely simple to use and does exactly what it is supposed to do. I love being able to delete tables full of items left over from long removed plugins, making the database more compact and therefore speeding up the site.
