Search function for free
A very good plugin with features that are usually found in premium plugins, for example, a search function, which in Advanced Database Cleaner, for instance, requires the Pro version.

great tool
I’ve been using Database Cleaner for years, and I love how precisely I can see what I’m doing. It’s not only an efficient tool, it’s a great learning viewer for database functionality. It lets me clean up the tables and records left by deleted plugins even if Wordpress thinks they’re still necessary (goodbye at last, Jetpack) and check the actual autoloaded options without leaving my dashboard. Recommended!
Smart relational analysis & Lower false positives
A well-designed WordPress optimisation plugin that stands out for its precision and restraint. Rather than aggressively deleting data, it analyses relationships within the database and clearly flags what appears to be genuinely orphaned — such as unused post meta, expired transients, auto drafts and leftover entries from removed plugins. This relational awareness significantly reduces the risk of false positives, which is especially important on complex sites running multiple plugins, custom tables or LMS and ecommerce systems. The interface is clean, readable and transparent, allowing administrators to see exactly what will be removed before confirming deletion. Another strong advantage is its lightweight footprint and non-intrusive approach. It does not clutter the dashboard or attempt to automate risky background clean-ups without clear visibility. Instead, it encourages deliberate, manual optimisation — which is often the wiser route for production environments. For WordPress users who want database hygiene without compromising stability, Database Cleaner offers a careful balance of power, clarity and safety, making it a reliable tool for maintaining long-term site performance.
