# Error when restoring database

 * I was trying to remove WordPress multisite installed with Jetpack and dumped 
   the associated tables in the database. However, after following all the steps
   I received an error saying that those tables are missing. So while I try and 
   figure out what other files or commands Jetpack has installed, I tried to restore
   the database with a backup in order to get the site back up in the meantime.
 * When I try to import the database in phpMyAdmin, I receive the above error.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ferror-when-restoring-database%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
    Those are the initial steps I followed, but I still received the error that
   those tables were missing. Also, it was redirecting to a signup.php file that
   was installed by Jetpack, but I added code into the .htaccess file to remove 
   that redirection.
 * I did however, resolve the database problem. I just deleted the entire database
   and then imported the backup I made.
 * I can’t find any other information about thoroughly removing the multisite other
   than what’s in the article you linked to, and evidently there is more that needs
   to be cleaned out.
