Easy configuration
Quick setup via the WordPress dashboard. The intuitive interface lets you immediately view, filter, and clean up space without technical expertise.
Clear database overview
See exactly what’s inside your database: analyze tables, options, post meta, comments, transients, and more, with automatic detection of the origin of each entry (plugin, theme, WordPress core).
Safe data cleaning
Every action is protected by nonces, advanced role checks, and confirmation prompts. Accidental deletions are impossible: only what you select gets deleted, and only after explicit confirmation.
Automatic cleanup
Schedule database cleaning and maintenance with flexible intervals: daily, weekly, or custom. Your database stays tidy and fast—automatically.
Advanced filtering and tools
Filter, search, and sort every module: work efficiently even with very large databases. Modular tools allow you to clean tables, options, meta fields, cron jobs, transients, and more.
Total control
Decide exactly what to remove and what to keep. Database entries are grouped by detected source, and every action can be reviewed before execution. Clean entire multisite networks or individual subsites with the same reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have a specific question? Submit a support ticket and we will get back to you.
Is this plugin safe to use?
Yes. All cleanup actions require administrator privileges and are protected by nonces and confirmation prompts. That said, always back up your database before running any cleanup — this is essential, not optional.
Can I undo a deletion?
No. Once data is deleted, it cannot be automatically restored. Please take a full database backup before performing any cleanup operations.
Does it work with Multisite?
Yes. The plugin is fully compatible with WordPress Multisite. You can choose to clean individual subsites rather than the entire network.
How does origin detection work?
The plugin checks table names, option names, and meta keys against a built-in detection database to identify which plugin or theme likely created each entry. If it gets something wrong, you can submit a correction to help improve detection for everyone.
Does it work on large databases?
Yes. Results are paginated and queries are optimized for performance. On very large databases, we recommend running cleanups in smaller batches.
