 * Hi team,

   wp-content/db.php`
 * See, [https://prnt.sc/enmIUEBexLx8](https://prnt.sc/enmIUEBexLx8)
 * Is this safe to remove?
 * Thanks!

 * Yes it is safe to delete this file. If you’re no longer using Query Monitor then
   it should have been deleted upon deactivation, but sometimes this doesn’t happen
   if the file permissions on the `wp-content` directory doesn’t allow it.
