    Hi,

    I have been working on a new website exporting and importing it several times for testing and the site is now almost ready to be imported on the dedicated server, where there is already an old WordPress installation.

    I have two questions:
    1. Should I clean the database of the the new site before importing it (because of the numerous changes I made in the past)?
    2. Should I clean the target server area before importing the new site or All-in-one plugin simply deletes everything without leaving a trace?

    Thank you for your time!
    Best regard,

    It depends on what you are doing.
    If you are restoring a backup of a website, then no need to clean the site.
    If you are migrating a site to a new location, then, yes, install fresh WordPress then import the file.
