    I have recently been looking into optimizing/cleaning up the database for a website that is a few years old. There was lots of old cruft in it from plugins that I had tried out and not ended up using. I quickly discovered that the wp_options table has thousands of records associated with Elementor Addon Elements (the option names all include “eael”) They are not set to autoload, but they take up 6500+ of the records in a table that is a 8000+ records total.

    Can I safely delete these? They are all variations of eael_custom_js (with empty values), eael_updated_at (with timestamp values), and eael_elements (with empty array values).

    I understand that since they’re not getting autoloaded they’re not effecting page load performance, but I don’t really like that such a huge percentage of that table may be essentially useless/unused records. Is there something I’m missing?
