With the help of this plugin you can check your database and discover if it is clean or not.
Extra columns added to the core WordPress tables could be shown also.

Very slow support than usual.

many questions unanswered more than 1 month on the forum. Maybe this review will be 5 when the support in the future can be better.

Does the job as it should!

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!

Great plugin without upsells/ads

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.
