## Descrición

Database Cleanup plugin scans the database and shows the tables beyond of core WordPress
installation. Some WordPress plugins create and use its own database tables.
 Those
tables are left in your database after plugin deactivation and deletion often. With
the help of this plugin you can check your database and discover if it is clean 
or not. Extra columns added to the core WordPress tables could be shown also. To

If you experiment with plugins—you know, trying eight of them out to pick the one
that works for you—or you have been around for a while and have activated, deactivated,
and deleted a bunch of plugins over the years, Plugins Garbage Collector (Database
Cleanup) is for you.Complaint: This plugin has not been updated for more than three
years, nor does the developer pay any attention to Support here. Nonetheless, Plugins
Garbage Collector (Database Cleanup) keeps on working …

It showed all the tables for inactive plugins. I was bit afraid but it safely removed
the unused data. Good one.

Love this plugin. Does what it says. Detects unused tables from deleted plugins 
and allows to delete them. If some tables with same prefix are not selectable you
can use other database management software like phpmyadmin to delete them. Also 
be careful and always double check before deleting database tables.

## Rexistro de cambios

#### 0.15 [12.08.2026]

 * Update: Full code refactoring to provide compatibility with PHP 8.4, WordPress
   7.0
 * Update: Auto-refreshed “known plugins” data cache is now stored under wp-content/
   uploads/pgc-data/ instead of the plugin’s own directory, so the plugin no longer

   the uploads directory isn’t usable.
 * Update: “Known plugins” JSON data files were moved back to Amazon Web Services
   S3
 * Update: uninstall.php was added.
 * Fix: Vulnerability type: Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) (OWASP A1: Broken 
   Access Control). Thanks to [patchstack.com] team for the report.
 * Fix: Showed false “Database is clean” message if “Newsletters” (Tribulant) plugin
   is active.

#### 0.14 [03.04.2022]

 * Update: “Known plugins” JSON data files were moved from Amazon Web Services S3
   to Yandex Cloud Object Storage.
