Hello!

I just copied a site with translations to a new server, deleted all the translated pages and posts etc. manually, but the translations table in the database is still looking large. Any idea why is that and how can I clean it?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, I did as you suggested and I was able to reduce the size a bit, but not significantly. Please see the screenshot attached. It's still huge considering there are no translations. What to do?

Hi,

May I ask you a question, how do you delete the translated posts/pages? If you delete all translation content of a/all languages, please follow this documentation https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/deleting-languages-and-plugin-data-by-doing-a-wpml-reset-on-your-site/

Note: you will need to delete taxonomies like menus, categories, tags ... manually by switching to a second language and deleting the translation.
Then check this issue again.

Look forward to your reply.
Thanks
