remove ExactMetric data from database

Hi @omniafausta,

Thanks for reaching out! I’m so sorry for the delay here.

Yes, manual deletion is the way to go for a full cleanup. Most rows are removed during uninstallation of the plugin, but a small number of entries are intentionally left behind so ExactMetrics doesn’t need to be reconfigured in case of temporarily or accidental plugin deactivation.

Some example rows to remove are:

• exactmetrics_settings
• exactmetrics_over_time
• exactmetrics_current_version

Please try a search for ExactMetrics in your database to locate them. There are also two crons that can be deregistered:

• exactmetrics_email_summaries_cron
• exactmetrics_usage_tracking_cron

In case you need some help with locating where you can make these changes, here are some guides:

I hope this helps, but let me know if you have further questions.

Thanks!

Hi @omniafausta,

Sorry for missing this! Yes, that’s correct, gadwp was the original plugin that ExactMetrics was rebranded from, so those rows are from the same plugin and are safe to drop as well.

Thank you!
