CodingBunny Database Cleaner


This plugin does exactly what it promises and helps keep the WordPress database clean without unnecessary complexity. The interface is straightforward, and the cleanup process is easy to understand even for non-technical users.



One suggestion for improvement: instead of adding a separate DB Cleaner item in the main WordPress admin menu, it would feel more natural and consistent with WordPress conventions to place it under Tools → DB Cleaner.



Overall, a useful plugin for routine database maintenance.


Simple and Useful Database Cleanup Plugin

Keep your WordPress database fast and lean by finding and removing orphaned data left behind by plugins, themes, and WordPress itself.

Over time, your WordPress database accumulates a massive amount of unnecessary data—like post revisions, auto-drafts, orphaned metadata, and expired transients. This bloat slows down your site and increases your backup sizes.
Dejunk DB is a lightweight, intuitive, and highly secure tool designed to clean up this orphaned and duplicated data, optimizing your database for peak performance.
Before making any changes, Dejunk DB provides a built-in Backup Engine so you can safely create a snapshot of your database and download it locally.
<h3>🚀 Key Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Built-In Database Backups: Create, download, and manage secure <code>.sql</code> backups of your database directly from the plugin dashboard before you clean.</li>
<li>Preview Before Dejunking: View the exact items (up to 500 records) that are flagged for deletion in a clean, AJAX-powered modal so you know exactly what is being removed.</li>
<li>Post Data Cleanup: Safely remove Post Revisions, Auto Drafts, Trashed Posts, and Orphaned Post Meta.</li>
<li>Comment Cleanup: Quickly delete Unapproved Comments.</li>
<li>User & Term Cleanup: Clear out Orphaned User Meta and Orphaned Term Relationships.</li>
<li>Options Cleanup: Flush stale and expired Transient Options (<code>_transient_</code> and <code>_site_transient_</code>) that bloat the <code>wp_options</code> table.</li>
<li>Table Optimization: Run standard MySQL <code>OPTIMIZE TABLE</code> commands on all your WordPress tables with a single click.</li>
<li>Global “Dejunk Everything” Switch: A master switch to clean up all identified junk sections instantly.</li>
<li>Clean Uninstall: When you uninstall Dejunk DB, it automatically cleans up its transients and securely deletes all backup files it created, leaving zero footprint.</li>
</ul>
Note: Any dejunking done to your database is irreversible. Please always utilize the built-in backup tool before running a cleanup.
