 * Hello.
 * itsec_temp is a huge table with over 500K rows. What is this for and can it be
   cleared? Is there a way to set this to manually clear?

 * Hi [@og123](https://wordpress.org/support/users/og123/),
 * Unfortunately, iThemes deleted the “Clear Logs” option from the plugin’s settings
   a while ago.
 * You can, however, delete table entries using the plugin, [Log Cleaner for iThemes Security](https://wordpress.org/plugins/log-cleaner-for-ithemes-security/).
 * Cheers!

 * Thanks. It sucks they removed it. It creates so many rows in table.
 * It is safe to manually empty the itsec_temp table?

 * Thanks.
 * Can I ask what does this table contains? What is the itsec_temp table for?

 * [@og123](https://wordpress.org/support/users/og123/),
 * It stores temp data (e.g., 404s, etc.)
 * You should always backup your database before clearing your DB tables — as reminded
   by the developer of the plugin, Log Cleaner for iThemes Security.
 * Cheers!
