Uninstall unsuccessfull

    Rank Math free

    I have been using Rankmath, and I am in a development situation where I need to remove all unnecessary pluggins. So Rankmath along with many others, must go. I’m working to completely clean up site eliminating database bloat. (It may be re-installed later) I followed the instructions by adding the line to the functions.php file, and the messages appeared saying it’s clearing everything BUT when I go into the database via phpmyadmin, all the rankmath tables are still there and data has not been cleared!
    It’s disappointing that the uninstall did not do what it said (but I’m used to this, basically everything fails at first, and there’s ALWAYS something.) Probably a permission issue. But I am assuming I can take some steps manually. I just wanted to get the word from the experienced support team – can I simply delete (DROP) these tables safely without any adverse effects? I had a screenshot but it’s probably easier to list plain text:
    wp_rank_math_analytics_adsense

    wp_rank_math_analytics_ga

    wp_rank_math_analytics_gsc

    wp_rank_math_analytics_inspections

    wp_rank_math_analytics_keyword_manager

    wp_rank_math_analytics_objects

    wp_rank_math_analytics_object_links

    wp_rank_math_internal_links

    wp_rank_math_internal_meta

    wp_rank_math_sc_analytics

    This was still in the database, after the complete UN-install. (After this was added)
    /**
    * Filter to remove Rank Math data from the database
    */
    add_filter( ‘rank_math_clear_data_on_uninstall’, ‘__return_true’ );

    Hello,

    Thanks for contacting us, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Yes, after you applied the filter and removed the plugin, you can safely DROP all Rank Math related database tables by looking for tables with prefix like this ( *_rank_math_* )

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

    Thank you.
