Extra columns added to the core WordPress tables could be shown also.

It showed all the tables for inactive plugins. I was bit afraid but it safely removed the unused data. Good one.

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.

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!

Easy and Efficient Plugin!

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.
