Danger Zone: cleanup, reset and auto-cleanup

< 1 min read

The Danger Zone groups Opti-Behavior’s data-removal tools. Actions here permanently delete analytics data, so use them carefully. Go to WP Admin → Opti-Behavior → Settings → Danger Zone.

Available tools #

  • Full reset / delete all: permanently removes all collected analytics data.
  • Delete by date range: removes data between two dates.
  • Smart cleanup: deletes data matching conditions grouped into Time-Based, Quality-Based, and Visitor-Behavior rules.
  • Bot & Spam Cleanup: removes traffic classified as bot or spam.
  • Scheduled auto-cleanup: runs cleanup automatically on a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule.
  • Cleanup history: shows a log of past cleanup runs.

How to delete by date range #

  1. Open the Danger Zone tab and the date-range section.
  2. Pick a start and end date.
  3. Confirm the deletion.

Expected result #

Only the data you targeted is removed, and the action is recorded in cleanup history.

Troubleshooting #

  • Cleanup left rows behind: large deletions may run in batches across scheduled passes.

FAQ #

Can I undo a delete? #

No. Deletions are permanent. Back up first if unsure.
