 * In Database, table xxxx_options is getting bigger and bigger. 
   There are 10 Thousand
   Entries like “aiowps_captcha_string_info_xxxxxxxx” and “aiowps_captcha_string_info_time_xxxxxxxx”
 * How can I delete them and prevent from growing further?

 * Hi [@bookutus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bookutus/),
 * It is due to the Maths captcha enabled WP security > Brute force > Captcha settings.
   There is a daily cron job that removes this data. It might be some issue running
   the daily cornjob.
 * Can you please install the WP Crontrol plugin?
 * Tools > Cron events have **aiowps_daily_cron_event** Run now should run that 
   cronob and delete of last 24 hrs old records.

 * Hi [@bookutus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bookutus/),
 * It should delete older than 24 hrs mean all before 24 hrs should be deleted.
 * Here, you have a large number of records, so it’s better to remove them with 
   DB access using phpMyAdmin and a SQL query.
 * Regards
