 * Hi,
    It could be the update was interrupted (by any PHP error maybe?) and didn’t
   complete as it should, did you try to activate “[Delete Wordfence tables and data on deactivation](https://docs.wordfence.com/en/Wordfence_options#Delete_Wordfence_tables_and_data_on_deactivation.3F)”
   option from (Wordfence > Options) before deactivating and deleting the plugin
   and re-installing it again?
 * Thanks.

 * No it will not save any options, I see the firewall is working but no scan, and
   no api key

 * Yes, first you need to deactivate Wordfence plugin, then install and activate“
   [Wordfence Assistant](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordfence-assistant/)“, using
   this plugin you can “Delete all Wordfence Data and Tables” then re-install Wordfence
   plugin again.
