   I use re-Catptcha to get rid of spam and the plugin does excellent job. However, I noticed hundreds of spam message INSIDE of my database (they are marked as SPAM).

   It takes a long time to remove these database spam messages manually. I wonder, are there any wordpress plugins to remove wordpress database spam?

   There's the popular Akismet which checks for comment spam, but I'm not sure if it actually removes anything from the db.

   Unfortunately, Akismet is useless when it comes to database spam. And i find re-Captcha to be much better than Akismet (plus it looks 100 times more professional). However, none of these plugins prevent database spam. Are there any plugins that can help me delete database spam as opposed to me doing it manually in database every time?

   No, Akismet doesn't prevent database spam. I am looking for a plugin that can delete database spam.

   Run this:

   delete from wp_comments where comment_approved = 'spam';

   In 2.7 if you view "spam" comments and click the "Delete all spam" button then that's what'll happen.
