I'm working on a new website which is a copy of another one. I used WPML a while ago on it but not anymore. Can I delete the icl_string_pages table safely if WPML is not installed anymore? Thank you

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out.

The answer to your questions depends on if you plan to use WPML on this site again someday in the future or not.

In case you will never use WPML on this website again, then please feel free to delete the WPML tables.
