Orphaned tables after uninstalling the plugin

    Hi,

    Checking my database, I see that some orphan tables remain after uninstalling the plugin:

    • wp_adrotate
    • wp_adrotate_groups (empty)
    • wp_adrotate_linkmeta
    • wp_adrotate_schedule
    • wp_adrotate_stats (empty)
    • wp_adrotate_stats_archive (empty)
    • wp_adrotate_tracker

    Can I delete these tables without any risk to the integrity of my WordPress database?

    Why didn’t the plugin clean up when it was uninstalled?

    Thanks and have a great day.

    If you no longer use AdRotate then you can just delete those yes.
    The uninstaller should do that for you thouhg…

    Can you take a look at your servers error_log file and see if there is any error in there related to AdRotate? Perhaps that gives us some insight in what went wrong.
    YOu can usually find the error_log file in your hosting dashboard.

    AdRotate was removed since a long time.
    Sorry, but I can’t go very far back in my log with my host.
    Thanks for your answer.

    Ah, but that explains the left-over data. A bug with the uninstaller was fixed earlier this year.

    Ah ok, so I think that my problem is prior to the correction of the bug.

    Everything is ok now, thanks again.
