“Not used” options likely inaccurate

    The plugin shows me 196 “not used” options. It is highly likely that these are inaccurate, based on my unfortunate experience deleting Wordfence options that appeared to be safe to delete.

    Moreover, almost every one of those options refers to either Litespeed or Wordfence. Somehow the plugin is does not have the correct information to judge whether or not those options are used.

    I installed this plugin mainly to save me some time. I wanted to quickly delete table and options data that is outdated after deleting certain plugins and themes before making other changes in the database.

    Unfortunately, so far this plugin has consumed much more of my time than I would have used to manually edit my database. 😢

    The concept is great, but the “Expert” interface does not seem ready for use. 😒

    Hello @inge12! 👋

    I wanted to explain how our feature works in more detail. It’s actually based on a vast collection of plugin names and their usage within the wordpress database system. However, it’s important to note that this information can vary depending on different versions of the plugin and the specific plugins you’re searching for in the options.

    We highly value user feedback, as it helps us improve our services. You can directly submit any insights you have regarding plugin usage within the setting tab.

    Whether you’re using the free version or the pro version of the plugin, the results may differ slightly as the “used by” section will be enhanced. We’re committed to providing a reliable experience at all times, and we encourage you to contribute by utilizing the “Custom Used By data” section and submitting your own data.

    Additionally, it’s crucial to always have a dependable backup before making any changes with the plugin. While the plugin cannot be held responsible for any deletions you choose to make, inaccuracies in the data could lead to confusion. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.

    Thank you for your cooperation!
