 * I am having significant problems with my entire database, which is affecting 
   every website I host on this particular server. I have isolated the problem down
   to the WP Google maps plugin and when I remove this from the one website that
   I use it on, by problem goes away.
 * Here is just one of the errors I am getting, but there are several similar ones
   as well;

   file ‘./bluepetermotors/wp_wpgmza_circles.ibd’ already exists though the corresponding
   table did not exist in the InnoDB data dictionary. You can resolve the problem
   by removing the file. 2019-05-14 12:02:34 140261352576768 [ERROR] InnoDB: Operating

 * All sorted. I resolved this problem by removing the plug in completely and using
   a different plug in.
    No more problems!

 * Hi Troy
 * Thank you for getting in touch, sorry to hear you have had this experience with
   our software.
 * If you can provide any other information about your database that might help 
   us isolate this, we’d be very grateful.
 * If that’s not convenient, we appreciate it and hope you will consider trying 
   our software again in the future.
 * Kind regards
    – Perry
