Uninstall and clean DB table

    Hello,

    I’ve an old website made by a young designer many years ago.
    I’m picking it up and I saw that there are files in the database and old compressed files in a folder that I managed to trace back to WP all import.
    The plugin is not visible (I don’t know if it is hidden by the creator of the site or uninstalled).
    I would like to know if I delete all the files and tables (and possibly the same plugin) could it cause problems to the site still online?
    I can imagine the plugin was used by the creator of the site theme to import data from the previous site, but honestly I don’t know much about it.
    I would just like to do a minimum of cleaning, but I’m not an expert and I wouldn’t want to create problems, but I have very little free space and the zip files are really big and numerous ??
    The tables are:
    wp_pmxi_files
    wp_pmxi_history
    wp_pmxi_imports
    wp_pmxi_posts
    wp_pmxi_templates
    and there are also entries in WP _options.
    Can I delete everything without problems?

    Thank you so much from an old grandmother ??

    @liosite, Yeah you can remove them. Those tables are the history & saved templates of exported/imported of posts/images.

    Most common db tables of WP Important & Export;
    wp_pmxe_exports
    wp_pmxe_google_cats
    wp_pmxe_posts
    wp_pmxe_templates
    wp_pmxi_files
    wp_pmxi_history
    wp_pmxi_images
    wp_pmxi_imports
    wp_pmxi_posts
    wp_pmxi_templates

    But I still suggest you to backup the database before cleaning.

    Hi @liosite

    Yes, @tuncaycavmak is correct, since you don’t plan on ever using our plugins again it is safe to delete those database tables and our options out of the database. But it is definitely important to back up your database before you delete anything.
