    Hi,
    First of all, I should say that I’ve already checked this KB: https://rankmath.com/kb/remove-yoast/ and performed the actions mentioned there.

    But despite that I see the following tables in the database:
    wp_yoast_primary_term
    wp_yoast_prominent_words
    wp_yoast_indexable
    wp_yoast_migrations

    Now the plugin “WP DB Cleaner PRO” is saying that these tables are being used by Rank Math and due to that I’m not 100% sure if I can delete them. So, if anyone from the support or development team can look into this matter and confirm if these tables can be deleted or not?

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math.

    If you wish to remove Yoast data, please make sure first that you have successfully migrated all data from Yoast to Rank Math as removing Yoast data is a non-reversible action.

    Then, I would recommend you to follow their official recommendations (as explained here: https://yoast.com/help/how-can-i-uninstall-my-plugin/#database) to remove these tables.

    It is recommended to however backup your database in case they still have some dependencies just to be safe.

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
