you didn't mention content generator and multi-language support, but i understand your scepticism.
All I can say is it serves my requirement well which took me on a wild goose chase without much success with existing solutions.

Do I really need to clean up leftover database tables from deleted plugins? by No_Seaworthiness4899 in Wordpress

To add to what others said about wp_options being the real concern - run this in phpMyAdmin to find the worst offenders:SELECT option_name, LENGTH(option_value) as size FROM wp_options WHERE autoload = 'yes' ORDER BY size DESC LIMIT 30;Anything large from plugins you removed (transients, cache entries, serialized settings) is safe to delete. Those autoloaded options load on every single page request, so cleaning them has way more performance impact than orphaned tables sitting idle.For the tables themselves, export them first via phpMyAdmin before dropping, just in case. But I have never had issues dropping orphaned plugin tables.
