Log cleaner for Kadence Security

It does what it says and does it very well.
Does exactly what it says! BackupBuddy bloat gone

It’s quite unbelievable that we need to have a separate plugin for the bloat, solid backup is creating. But this plugin is perfect, it saves me time from going into phpMyAdmin and figuring out what I can delete and what not.
Time saver!

always a little unnerving working with dB tables, but this worked perfectly. I’m not sure if it’s the default, but logs were being saved for 180 days creating a huge file. thank you for solving this!!!! Super fast
THANK YOU
