    Can you give me a hint, what meaning have following files:

    wp_wfLeechers
    wp_wfHits
    wp_wfNet404s?

    There are 4 instances of each, so a total of 12 files. Each has approximately 25 – 35 Mb.
    What to do with them?
    Can I delete them?

  • Hi @lojze,
    They are database tables. If you aren’t familiar with how databases work, I wouldn’t recommend you delete any files related to database tables.

    wfLeechers and wfNet404s are not used anymore, so you can truncate those via a tool like phpMyAdmin for example. wfHits contains your Live Traffic data, so if you truncate that you’ll have no history on the site. I recommend you keep it, and if you want to reduce the size of it you should change the Wordfence option “Amount of Live Traffic data to store (number of rows)” to a value lower than 1000.

    Hi @lojze,

    We haven’t heard back from you in a while. I’ve gone ahead and marked this thread as resolved. If you’re still having issues with Wordfence, feel free to open another thread.

    Thanks!
