 * Hi [@robbyrockman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robbyrockman/),
 * Revive Social doesn’t create any custom database tables. The plugin only stores
   its settings in the standard WordPress options table, so the `rl_social_platforms`
   table wasn’t created by our plugin and we can’t advise on whether it’s safe to
   empty it.
 * To find out which plugin it belongs to… It will be another plugin on your site,
   most likely one related to social login, share buttons, or click/referrer tracking.
   You can check the list of plugins you have installed and search each plugin’s
   name together with “social_platforms” on Google, or open a row of the table in
   phpMyAdmin. The data there might mention the plugin’s name.
 * Once you’ve identified it, the safest path is to ask on that plugin’s own support
   forum before deleting anything, and always make a full database backup first (
   phpMyAdmin → Export).
 * Best of luck getting the site back up!
