Deactivate and delete a plugin, and it often leaves behind: * Custom database tables * Settings rows in `wp_options` * Meta keys attached to your posts or users * Scheduled cron jobs that fire forever into the void * Transients that never expire cleanly Over months and years, this debris accumulates and quietly bloats your database.** Elevoire Orphaned Data Cleaner** scans for exactly this kind of leftover and lets you remove it, one confirmed item at a time. #### How it works The plugin cross-references everything it finds against your currently installed plugins (active or not). If nothing installed matches a table, option, or meta key by name, it’s flagged as orphaned — with a confidence level so you know how sure the plugin is: * **High confidence** — no installed plugin has ever existed with a matching name. Very safe to remove. * **Medium confidence** — a loose name match wasn’t found, but naming conventions vary; worth a quick look before deleting. * **Low confidence** — flagged conservatively; verify manually first. Every deletion is logged with a snapshot of what was removed, so there’s always an audit trail. #### Features * Scans 6 categories: tables, options, post meta, user meta, cron jobs, transients * Confidence-rated findings — never blind guesses * One-click delete per item, with a confirmation dialog * Step-by-step scan with a progress bar — safe even on large databases * Every delete logged with a snapshot for manual recovery * No settings to configure, no bloat — just scan and clean ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/elevoire-orphaned-data-cleaner`, or install directly through the WordPress plugins screen. 2. Activate the plugin. 3. Go to **Tools Orphaned Data** and click **Scan My Site**. ## FAQ ### Will this delete data from plugins I’m still using? No. Every finding is cross-referenced against your installed plugins (even inactive ones). If a plugin folder exists for it, it’s never flagged. ### Is this safe to run on a live site? Yes, but as with any database operation, we recommend taking a full database backup first, especially before deleting medium/low confidence items. The plugin logs a snapshot of everything it deletes, but that’s not a substitute for a real backup. ### What if I accidentally delete something I needed? Check Tools Orphaned Data — every deletion is logged with a snapshot of the original value, which a developer can use to manually restore it via phpMyAdmin. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Elevoire Orphaned Data Cleaner” is open source software.
