 * I’m a novice trying to solver some server memory issues because the experts are
   stumped. They advised me to fix my databases. I found your plugin, backed up 
   everything on my FTP and reset them. To my horror, it deleted EVERYTHING. My 
   hosting company, DreamHost has an automatic backup for MySQL. I restored it from
   there, but nothing. What other databases (other than the MySQL) did this plugin
   delete?

 * Also, my hosting company shows no databases have been deleted. So there is nothing
   in the recycle bin to restore from. What exactly does the plugin do?

 * The plugin resets the database to how it was when you first installed WordPress
   so without any data.

 * Strange. Nothing related to this plugin deletes any files so it’s definitely 
   not this. It just performs database queries to either delete and/or preserve 
   data, basically restoring the database to how WordPress is right after you install
   it for the first time.
 * So in a sense, it worked by resetting – but deleting other databases? No sir 
   🙂
