    Today I had to clean up a web site and when I deleted the iThemes plugin it left the following table in place:

    itsec_distributed_storage

    Does anyone knows what this table in the database does? is it OK to delete?

    According to the 7.0.0 changelog:

    Enhancement: Introduce Distributed Storage framework for reducing the amount of data stored in the WordPress options table. This should improve performance for large sites using File Change.

    Looks like iThemes forgot to do their housekeeping … ( The remove_database_tables() class method in the core/lib/schema.php file is not removing the itsec_distributed_storage table …)

    Anyway it’s perfectly safe to delete the table;-)

    This issue has already been fixed in the current Pro release. So you can probably expect it to be fixed in the next Free plugin update …
