It can identify orphaned options, leftover post meta, unused comments, transients, and other types of residual data, giving you a clear overview of what is stored in your database and allowing you to clean it when needed. The plugin attempts to detect the likely origin of database entries — such as plugin, theme, or WordPress core — so you can review data with additional context before performing any deletion. ### Why use CodingBunny Database Cleaner? * View database contents with detected origin information * Remove unnecessary data with safety checks in place * Improve database performance and reduce overhead * Schedule automated cleanup tasks * Contribute corrections when origin detection is inaccurate #### Features **Tables** * Optimize, repair, and convert tables to InnoDB * Delete unused tables* Detect table sources * Inspect the contents of any table in a paginated viewer **Options** * Delete unused options * Manage and optimize autoloaded options **Posts** * Delete posts, revisions, auto drafts, and trashed posts * Scheduled cleanup support **Post Meta** * Remove orphaned and unused post meta * Scheduled cleanup support **Comments** * Delete spam, trashed, orphaned comments, pingbacks, and trackbacks* Scheduled cleanup support **Comment Meta** * Remove orphaned and unused comment meta * Scheduled cleanup support **User Meta** * Remove orphaned and unused user meta * Scheduled cleanup support **Term Meta** * Remove orphaned and unused term meta * Scheduled cleanup support **Term Relationships** * Remove unused term relationships * Scheduled cleanup support **Post Types** * Remove unused post types **Transients** * Delete expired and unused transients * Scheduled cleanup support **Cron Jobs** * Remove unused scheduled cron jobs * Scheduled cleanup support **Action Scheduler** * Delete completed, failed, and canceled actions * Clean up Action Scheduler logs * Scheduled cleanup support **oEmbed Cache** * Remove oEmbed caches (all or expired only) * Scheduled cleanup support **Full Database Cleanup** * Run a complete database cleanup in a single operation* Works within a time budget, so it can be run again to continue on very large databases **Prefix Scanner** * Identify which plugin or theme an unknown database prefix belongs to * Local pattern and source code scan, with an optional lookup on the WordPress.org directory **General Tools** * Multisite support (per-site or network-wide cleanup) * Filtering, searching, and sorting across all modules * Paginated results for large datasets* Preview the stored value of options, meta keys, transients, and scheduled actions before deleting them * Safety confirmations and nonce protection for all actions* Option to contribute detection corrections ### Learn More For additional information about WordPress database optimization and maintenance practices, you can refer to the following resource: [supporthost.com](https://supporthost.com/it/ottimizzare-database-wordpress/) ### Video Guide A video overview of WordPress database cleanup and optimization techniques is available here: ### External services This plugin can connect to two external services. Both are used only inside the ** Prefix Scanner** tool (DB Cleaner Report Match), never during normal database cleaning, and never on the front end of your site. #### 1. WordPress.org Plugin and Theme Directory API What it is used for: when you run a prefix scan, the plugin queries the official WordPress.org directory to find out which published plugin or theme a database prefix belongs to. What is sent: the prefix you typed into the Prefix Scanner field, and nothing else. No site URL, no user data, no database content. When it is sent: only when you click “Start scan” in the Prefix Scanner, and only after the local scans have failed to produce an exact match. Service provider: WordPress.org, run by the WordPress Foundation. Terms of service: https://wordpress.org/about/privacy/ Privacy policy: https://wordpress.org/about/ privacy/ #### 2. Veloria code search What it is used for: an optional extended search that looks for the prefix inside the published source code of plugins and themes that are not installed on your site — the case the local scan cannot cover. What is sent: the prefix you typed into the Prefix Scanner field, and nothing else. No site URL, no user data, no database content. When it is sent: only when you click “Start scan” in the Prefix Scanner, **and only if you have explicitly enabled this option . The option is disabled by default. You can turn it on or off at any time from the checkbox in the Prefix Scanner panel; while it is off, no request is made and no data leaves your site. What the service does with it: Veloria stores the search query and its results so that they can be revisited, and keeps temporary server logs that include the IP address the request came from. Veloria states that it does not sell, share or transfer data to third parties. Service provider: Veloria (https://veloria.dev) Terms of service: https://veloria. dev/terms Privacy policy: https://veloria.dev/privacy #### Reporting an unknown match The separate “Report Match” form sends an email to the plugin author with only the fields you fill in yourself: the item type, the item name, the plugin or theme you associate it with, and your notes, plus the plugin, WordPress and PHP version numbers. It is sent through your own site’s mail system, it carries no site URL and no user data, and nothing is sent unless you press the button. #### Controlling this from code Site owners and hosts can control both services with filters: ``` // Hide the extended code search entirely: the option disappears from the UI. add_filter( 'cbdc_pf_remote_search_available', '__return_false' ); // Disable the WordPress.org lookup. add_filter( 'cbdc_pf_wporg_search_enabled', '__return_false' ); ``` The consent for the extended code search is stored in the site option cbdc_pf_remote_consent(` 0` = off, which is the default). ## Sawir-shaashado [[ [[ [[ ## Rakibaad #### 1. Via WordPress dashboard * Go to Plugins Add New * Search for “CodingBunny Database Cleaner” * Click Install Now and then Activate #### 2.

All cleanup actions require administrator permissions and are protected by nonces and confirmation prompts. Before deleting anything, the plugin checks again that each row is still eligible for removal. It is still recommended to back up your database before performing any cleanup. ### Can deleted data be recovered? No. Deleted data cannot be automatically restored. Always create a backup before cleanup operations. ### Does it support Multisite? Yes. You can clean individual subsites or the entire network. Network-wide operations require network administrator permissions. ### How does detection work? The plugin matches database entries against known patterns to identify their likely origin (plugin, theme, or core). Users can submit corrections to improve accuracy. ### Is it suitable for large databases? Yes. Counting, filtering, and sorting are performed by the database itself rather than in PHP, results are paginated, and deletions run in batches within a time budget. For very large databases, running the full cleanup more than once is normal: each run continues where the previous one stopped. ### Does the plugin send any data anywhere? Only inside the Prefix Scanner, and only when you start a scan. The scanner can query the WordPress.org directory, and it can optionally use an external code search service that is disabled until you enable it yourself. In both cases the only thing sent is the prefix you typed. See the “External services” section below for the full details. ### What are the system requirements? PHP 8.2 or later and WordPress 6.2 or later. If your server does not meet these requirements the plugin will not load and will tell you why, leaving the rest of your site untouched. ## Dibu-eegisyo ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a31cd68e1c5de1a15c4a31dd99cc0e9eb0eb4f2aaedd3d3025a1e22d928b9a32? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[The Best DB Cleaner](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-best-db-cleaner/)󠁿 [Skrlance](https://profiles.wordpress.org/seanlance/) 10 Agoosto, 2026 1 reply Absolutely the best database cleaner plugin in the WordPress repository. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/1e0616296c4d26d92cb64457f967d9ac34aae2b2b1980e1fcf56af41183c5739? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Simple and Useful Database Cleanup Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-and-useful-database-cleanup-plugin/)󠁿 [Sarankumar](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sarankumar/) 15 Juunyo, 2026 This plugin does exactly what it promises and helps keep the WordPress database clean without unnecessary complexity. The interface is straightforward, and the cleanup process is easy to understand even for non-technical users. One suggestion for improvement: instead of adding a separate DB Cleaner item in the main WordPress admin menu, it would feel more natural and consistent with WordPress conventions to place it under Tools DB Cleaner. Overall, a useful plugin for routine database maintenance.
