 * Can all the tables beginning with wp_advaipbl_ be removed from the WordPress 
   Database (using phpmyadmin), after the plugin has been deleted, without causing
   any other problems to the integrity of the DB.
 * Thanks

 * Hi [@ljfent](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ljfent/),
 * Yes, absolutely!
 * Since you had to remove the plugin directory manually via FTP/File Manager previously,
   the standard WordPress uninstallation process (which cleans up the database) 
   didn’t have a chance to run.
 * You have two safe ways to completely remove all remaining data without affecting
   the integrity of your WordPress database in any way:
 * **Option 1: The Easy Way (via the Plugin)**
    1. Reinstall and activate the latest version of Advanced IP Blocker.
    2. Go to **Security > Settings > Uninstallation**.
    3. Check the box for **“Delete Data on Uninstall”** and click Save.
    4. Go to your WordPress **Plugins** page.
    5. **Deactivate** and then **Delete** the plugin normally.
       _This will automatically
       and safely erase all tables, settings, and cache files._
 * **Option 2: The Advanced Way (via phpMyAdmin)**
   If you prefer to do it manually,
   you can safely drop (delete) all tables that start with your database prefix 
   followed by advaipbl_.These tables are completely isolated and only used by our
   plugin:
    - wp_advaipbl_logs
    - wp_advaipbl_notifications_queue
    - wp_advaipbl_ip_scores
    - wp_advaipbl_request_log
    - wp_advaipbl_malicious_signatures
    - wp_advaipbl_cache
    - wp_advaipbl_blocked_ips
    - wp_advaipbl_endpoint_lockdowns
    - wp_advaipbl_community_ips _(if you used v8.6.3+)_
    - etc ….
 * _(Note: Replace wp\_ with your actual database prefix if it’s different)._
 * You can also safely delete the advaipbl_settings row from your wp_options table.
 * Either method is perfectly safe for your site. Let me know if you need any further
   assistance!
 * Best regards,
 * Advanced IP Blocker Team
