 * Hello,
 * Trying out migration tools for our sites we installed the free version of Duplicator.
   Made a full backup pre-filling `DB_NAME` and `DB_USER`, downloaded the package,
   unistalled Duplicator – thinking that we removed every trace of it as per settings-
   optimized our DB, uploaded the package on top of the same, already existing site
   and kept getting this error:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       WordPress database error Got error 'repetition-operator operand invalid' from regexp for query SELECT option_name FROM xxxx_options WHERE option_name REGEXP '^_transient_duplicator_(?!pro_)' made by do_action('wp_ajax_delete-plugin'), WP_Hook->do_action, WP_Hook->apply_filters, wp_ajax_delete_plugin, delete_plugins, uninstall_plugin, include_once('/plugins/duplicator/uninstall.php'), DuplicatorLiteUninstall::uninstall, DuplicatorLiteUninstall::removeSettings, DuplicatorLiteUninstall::deleteTransients
       ```
   
 * The even stranger thing is that the issue involves the `REGEXP '^_transient_duplicator_(?!
   pro_)'`. Any thoughts?

 * Thank you for the reply.
 * The installation is a basic multisite one. Even the theme used is twenty …something.
   
   Since it is a test site we will not go through the pain of back and forth emailing
   till it is solved,=. After all it has to do with your PRO version. SorryThe important
   thing here is that you have been made aware of a very annoying issue. It would
   be nice you were to fix it.As for us for the time being, we moved on to another
   non-problematic solution
