 * So, I have been in my database trying to clean it up. Over the years, I used 
   and discarded several plugins and themes that have caused the table to grow a
   bit. Some are easy. But, many developers make it a bit difficult to identify 
   who the data belongs to. So, I went hunting for an easier solution.
 * What I found was the “Advanced Database Cleaner” plugin. The free version basically
   only allows me to do what I have been doing. However, their pro version supposedly
   is able to identify if the data is being used by an active plugin or theme, and
   if it orphaned.

 * **FREE**
    - Display options list
    - Display options information such as option name, option value, option size,
      option autoload
    - Clean and delete options
    - Set options autoload to no / yes
 * **PAID**
    - Classify options according to their “creator”. They can be either: plugins
      options, themes options or WP core options
    - Detect and delete orphan options.
    - Search & filter options, filter tables and filter cron tasks based on several
      criteria such as the “name”, “creator”, “value”, etc.
 * In your support forum, there is at least one other person looking for something
   similar: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/delete-unused-options-data/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/delete-unused-options-data/)
 * Since I have used and relied on your plugin for a while now, I would rather upgrade
   to your paid version. Is cleaning and deleting options something you are working
   on?

 * [@tjalexander70](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tjalexander70/) This is 
   not a feature yet, the current version only shows the tables of active/disabled
   plugins, it doesn’t shows the data of the plugin which it belongs to.

 * Oh, I know. What I am asking is if it is in the works? And, if it is, do you 
   have an expected time of rollout. Like I said, if I am going to upgrade to a 
   paid version, I would prefer to do it with you, as you are already a trusted 
   plugin with me.

 * [@tjalexander70](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tjalexander70/) Sorry this
   is not in the feature list, but I’ll add this as a feature quest, so it can be
   considered to be added in future release
