Unnecessary tables in the database?

    Hello.
    Today I received a notice from Yoast SEO about scan my links in posts, and I agreed. Then I scanned my database with Plugins Garbage Collector. Scan results – garbage (red color):

    ..._yoast_seo_links 409 80 Unknown Removed?
..._yoast_seo_meta   78 16 Unknown Removed?

    (where ‘…’ – my db-prefix, numbers – number of records in the database and kilobytes, ‘Unknown’ – name of the plugin)
    Yoast SEO was not deactivated during the scan. Is it safe to delete these tables? Thank you.

    These tables are for the new link count feature introduced in Yoast SEO 5.0

    I already understood that. Can I clean up the database from them without harming the site? Will they be generated again if that function is activated? Is this garbage or not?
