CodingBunny Database Cleaner is a straightforward yet powerful WordPress plugin that helps you analyze, filter, and safely remove unnecessary data from your database. Whether it’s orphaned options, leftover post meta, unused comments, transients, or more, the plugin gives you a clear picture of what’s in your database and lets you clean it up with confidence.
The plugin automatically detects the likely origin of each database entry — plugin, theme, or WordPress core — so you always know what you’re dealing with before you delete anything.
