# wp_cf7dbplugin_submits table dimensions

 * Since I started to use this incredible plugin of course my db started growing.
   wp_cf7dbplugin_submits table is the one that is grown more. Now I tried to delete
   from ContactDB from inside WP many rows of a module that collected big files 
   with upload from people but apparently table contents isn’t smaller. Question:
   deleting rows cleans also content of db or only limits what is shown from browsing
   application ? What is the correct way to delete contents (files uploaded) except
   going directly to db?
    Thank you

 * Deleting a submission deletes the associated file which is saved in the DB. You
   can delete individual rows from the admin console, as you probably know.
 * If you want to delete the associated file but not the form submission, you would
   have to go to the DB. You would look for and delete field entries that have a
   file
 *  `select * from wp_cf7dbplugin_submits where file is not null`
 * You could delete these rows. That would remove the upload file field from the
   form submissions.

 * Really many thanks for quick answer. I’ll try all.
    Have a nice day 🙂
