Tell us what you are trying to do?
Options table became 1,8GB large. Is it safe to delete it? Does your plugin might rely on transients to store critical data that shouldn't be deleted?? I am thinking of all Non-Expired Transients and Expired Transients.
Is there any documentation that you are following?
YES, all of thee best practices. We didnt do anything else special that would bloat the database with the transients. The database is 5 years old.
Is there a similar example that we can see?
What is the link to your site?
What is the support response time?
Hi there,
There should not be any issues regarding that. But I strongly suggest that you have a backup of the website before doing so.
The response time is about 4-24 hours.
Thanks.
options table is 1.8GB large
Cant figure it out what did the Toolset and WPML in the last 5 years of usage did. Trying to clean it up.
Hi there,
Is there any reason that you think those plugins might be in play?
In general, the transient cache deletion should not have any issues, but having a complete backup of the database is a wise choice before doing any database related action.
Thanks.
It seems like the database table options is bloated with wpml notices. Not transient problem

Hi there,
It is ok to remove the WPML Notices from the options table. But again I would suggest that you have a complete backup so if an unexpected thing happens you will have a way to go back to the previous state.
Thanks.
I see it is not Toolset closely related, but anyway - there are so many WPML notices in the options table. There is no known or recommended practices to prevent the accumulation of these notices.
