    I have 2 tables in the same database: aKXzOUJV and wpstg1_

    How can I delete one of them?

    I deleted the clone and the plugin but the tables stayed.

    The situation occurred after I copied the site to another domain.
    (My mistake.) with the plugin activated and a clone site is on.

    Please let me know which and how to delete the unnecessary tables.
    Thanks,

    Hello @roni1234

    You can delete those tables with phpmyadmin or adminer https://www.adminer.org/

    I prefer the second one. Its just one file which you can upload to your site. Then you can access the tables. You can also install adminer by using a wordpress plugin:

    Hello,
    I deleted the tables manually.
    The plugin was useful but I will not use it anymore.
    I am not an expert in database tables but using your plugin made my site double its weight.
    I had in mind that your plugin create a new database to separate from the 2 sites.
    As far as I know, having double tables are not good for the search engines.
    I will appreciate your comment in order to learn more about your plugin.
    Best Regards,

    Hello Isaac,

    < I had in mind that your plugin create a new database to separate from the 2 sites.

    No, the plugin just creates duplicates of the live tables and copies them into the same database beside the other tables which are used by the live site.

    This is absolutely fine and will not increase the loading time of your website and will not slow down your database. These tables are even not loaded by mysql database if you are not logged into the staging site, so the site speed of the live site is not affected at all.

    But of course you can create and delete staging sites only whenever you need them. That is fine as well.

    Cheers
    René
