# Database error – missing tables

 * Hi. My host provider recently migrated with Go Daddy and in doing so my website
   wouldn’t load. I got the “Established a database error” page only. My host said
   our database was corrupt and running of a cache version which wouldn’t migrate.
   I tried to repair the database and got this report (missing tables, pasted below).
   I’ve since put up a temp landing page with Site Publisher so our clients new 
   what was going on. But I can not log into the WP Admin site to work on the site.
   Can I remove all of the old files and start over? I only have old backups as 
   the newer ones were corrupt. Thanks for the support.

 * If your newest backup is corrupted there is little you can do to get your old
   content back short of trying to fix the backup, extracting what you can from 
   it or using something like [Wayback Machine](https://web.archive.org/web/20230000000000*/https://schoenneappraisals.com/)
   to get what you can.
 * For your old backup, you can see what is in there. If you have anything such 
   as .sql, .tar.gz etc there is a good chance you can restore that backup. You 
   can try deleting all the tables and restoring your older database and checking
   if that works.
 * Starting over is easy should you need to do so. Just log into PhpMyAdmin and 
   just delete every table. When you access WordPress again it will see an empty
   database and do its own installation thing!

 * Thanks. I deleted (dropped) all of the existing tables. The wp_admin page loaded
   and reinstalled the files. Now I start from scratch. Hopefully I can restore 
   some of the previous back ups. Appreciate the prompt support!
