 * Hi,
 * I used the scanner for the first time and it put like 30mb to my db.
    Is there
   a way to clean any information about the scanner in the database please ? I found
   it in the tools for several tables but not for this one.
 * Thank you
 * GB

 * Hi! You can do it manually in any database management tool. There is no built-
   in feature. Should you be worried about 30 MB?

 * Hi [@gioni](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gioni/),
 * Thanks for your answer.
 * In my case yes, this can be an issue 🙂
    Anyway, is there a table dedicated to
   the scanner logs ? Or if those logs are mixed in a table with other cerber’s 
   logs, how to select only the scanner’s ones please ?
 * What I want is to remove the whole scanner info, and nothing else.
 * Thank you for your help,
 * GB

 * The name of the scanner’s DB table ends with “cerber_files”. If you have the 
   standard WordPress prefix, which is wp, the table name is **wp_cerber_files**.
   You can empty this table with no consequences.

 * Hi [@gioni](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gioni/),
 * I did this, then I checked the scanner and the scans logs were still there.
    
   I found a file keyword to look at and I also had to delete from “WPPREFIX_cerber_sets”
   where “the_key” is equal to “scan” to reset the scanner tool.
 * Thanks for your help.
