Select your database. 2. Check the box beside the Bad Behaviour table and from the drop down menu choose “Empty”. This will delete the accumulated data. Make sure you choose EMPTY.

Here is a screen capture. * Thanks for this, I was wondering how you clean the log * [Alvaro Degives-Mas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nv1962/) * (@nv1962) * [16 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-bad-behavior-cleaning-log/#post-867370) * Ovidiu said: * > […] I see a list with all bb logs, and there is a checkbox to select all logs, > but then, the delete button is missing 🙂 * I have a l33t fix for that: using a permanent marker, I wrote the underlined word “DELETE” on my monitor, in the column header of the table. Now, I haven’t found the right CSS markup yet to change absolute to relative positioning, but it’s a start! I just move my monitor up or down when I scroll the BB page, and it’s full of win. Of course I personally don’t use the internets for anything else but checking out the BB logs, so your mileage may vary. * Otherwise, for lazy cheating coders: you can apply the hack of just doing nothing, as the table is regularly purged already. Don’t take my word for it, check line 6 of **housekeeping.inc.php** for yourself… The purging interval is 7 days, i. e. independent from the timeframe you set in the BB settings page.
