Deleting database tables

    Hello,
    I deleted Shield Security Plugin some months ago, but looking at the list of tables in phpMyAdmin, I see the following:

    https://pastebin.com/5hT0E5Hi

    They have a lot of rows/MB.

    Is it safe for me to delete these tables? Or must they remain?

    Thank you
    Warm regards,
    Raffaella

    Hi Raffaella,

    Thanks for your question.

    Thank you Jelena, that discussion is about AutoLoaded Options, not sure it’s the same thing I am asking. I will try to find other answers.

    Sorry for confusion. It’s the same thing.

    These tables are leftovers and since you don’t use Shield any longer, it’s safe to remove them.

    Hi Raffaella,

    It’s been over 2 days since we last heard from you, so I’ll go ahead and close this for now. But if you still need a hand, feel free to reopen the conversation.

    Cheers!

    Hi, Jelena,

    thank you for your help!


    I was able to delete some tables from myphp, but not the following:
    staging_xCJ_icwp_wpsf_ips
    xCJ_icwp_wpsf_at_logs
    xCJ_icwp_wpsf_ips
    xCJ_icwp_wpsf_req_logs
    xCJ_icwp_wpsf_resultitems

    Why is that? What other way can I delete them?

    Also, I was trying to set “fernleafsystems\wordpress\plugin\shield\controller\controller” autoload to NO using Advanced Database Cleaner, or to delete it, but it’s impossible.

    I saw another user had this same problem in another thread, but he was able to delete it from phpMyAdmin – but do I find it there?

    Thank you!

    Hi Raffaella,

    If you’re able to delete some tables but not others, it’s likely due to permission or database-specific issues (restrictions) with those particular tables.

    I suggest checking with your web host to see if this is the case, or asking them to remove the tables for you, including the autoload.
