Since BeTheme became the main theme for our websites, we have been developing the project hidden link. Starting from approximately 2015, many plugins were installed and deleted by mistake. Now we have firmly transitioned to the absolute minimum, where only Kadence Product and Rank Math SEO optimization are the foundation.
Now that we have learned to maintain internal cleanliness, we have noticed that a lot of junk records are still stored in the database: options, posts, and debugging information.
To clean them up, we want to clarify two questions. Can you take a look and help us do this?
If not, what is the most convenient way to save only translations without custom fields? I emphasize that it is only translations so that we can load them on a new installation.

This is as far as it goes with deleting WPML data that we have within our documentation and is officially supported.
As for WPML settings, you could check wp_options for entries that have icl_ within, this is where some of the information is stored, such as WPML settings.
However as for removing custom fields but keeping translations, this does not work, it'll be like keeping original pages but trying to remove custom fields, this would most likely break the layout or cause other unforeseen problems.
