    Is this table needed in 2.5.1 or can i delete it (or at least empty it)?

    I think its not needed since its filled with old upload info. New upload info seems to be stored elsewhere.

    Are there any other tables/rows which can be dropped?

    Anyone?

    ok I found that I need to run the cron job to clear this out. Its kinda late now so will try in morning.

    I ran wp-cron manually, removing the following line:

    if ( $_GET[‘check’] != wp_hash(‘1111111’) )
    exit;

    It ran for ages at first then returned immediately.

    However it has not cleared out the data. Is it ok for me to empty this table manually? Come on someone must have done this before?! :S

    Man nobody ever seems to reply on here, my 3rd topic with no response.

    I couldn’t be bothered waiting so I backed up and emptied the table. WordPress is running fine so not sure why this table is even there. Might delete it altogether if I don’t find any references to it in the php.
