What it does
Over time, a WordPress database collects data that no longer serves any purpose. Old post revisions pile up, auto-drafts linger, spam and trashed comments sit in the tables, transient options build up, and database tables gather overhead. This plugin gives you one place to find that leftover data and remove it, so you stop handling each type of clutter separately or writing queries by hand.
You pick which types of data to clean, so content you want to keep stays where it is. A cleanup takes a few clicks, and table optimization runs from the same interface. For regular upkeep, you can set cleanup tasks on a custom schedule and let them run on their own. After each cleanup you get a report showing how much data was removed. It suits anyone who looks after WordPress sites, from single site owners to developers and administrators managing several installs.
Best for
- Blogs with years of post revisions and drafts
- Sites that get large amounts of spam comments
- Freelancers and agencies maintaining several WordPress sites

Questions about Smart Cleanup Tools
What kinds of data can this plugin remove?
It handles old post revisions, auto-drafts, trashed items, spam comments and transient options. It can also optimize your database tables to clear overhead. You choose which of these types to clean on each run, so you are never forced to remove everything at once.
Can I set cleanups to run automatically?
Yes. You can create scheduled cleanup tasks with custom timing, so routine maintenance happens on its own. This works well for busy sites where revisions and spam comments build up quickly and you would rather not remember to clean them manually.
Will I know what was removed after a cleanup?
After each cleanup, Smart Cleanup Tools gives you a report summarizing how much data was removed. That makes it easy to see the effect of a run and decide whether to adjust which data types you clean next time.
Is there a risk of deleting content I want to keep?
The plugin lets you pick exactly which data types to clean, and it includes safeguards meant to prevent accidental data loss. Keeping a recent backup of your database before large cleanups is still a sensible habit.
