Hey, I was using BBpress before but now I decided to stop using it because I was getting a lot of spam posts and users and I don’t have the time to keep on tracking the forums.

However, after deleting the bbpress plugin, I see an inflated wp_posts and wp_postmeta databases each one around 700mb and I found out here that bbpress store their data in wp_posts and wp_postmeta

Stored Database Data

So I am wondering, how can I delete the bbpress related databases from the wp_posts and wp_postmeta without affecting my other posts or pages I have created?

I have 3 more websites with even more posts created by me, but without bbpress and the wp_posts and wp_postsmeta is like 20mb or so. That’s why I am sure that the inflated databse are because of bbpress.

So anyone can help me figure out how to delete the bbpress related databases?

you will need bbpress enabled to do this

It worked, thanks a lot! 🙂

However, the wp_content file decreased from 8GB to 7GB, and it’s still inflated so it seems there is another issue.

Thanks anyways 🙂
