CodingBunny Database Cleaner is a WordPress plugin that helps you analyze, filter, and safely remove unnecessary data from your database. It can identify orphaned options, leftover post meta, unused comments, transients, and other types of residual data, giving you a clear overview of what is stored in your database and allowing you to clean it when needed.
The plugin attempts to detect the likely origin of database entries — such as plugin, theme, or WordPress core — so you can review data with additional context before performing any deletion.

- View database contents with detected origin information
