This plugin worked very well – thanks!Worked fine for me on a WordPress version 6.9 site. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/142c097655d9e42a9c366d4ed99ec74de240a56eeda69866b973a1b9f5c6dc5e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Still works on WordPress 6.8.1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/still-works-on-wordpress-6-8-1/)󠁿 [cXD4931](https://profiles.wordpress.org/xbor17/) Matg 30, 2025 Installed and run on a WordPress working on version 6.8.1 with Php version 8.2 without major issues. The plugin moved fast and did the job in seconds. Highly recommended! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b1829b6b7f099d725c4f8c5c9fdc42d45587d86341e82e614f05f6719a981522? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Good and easy](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/good-and-easy-70/)󠁿 [phoenix36](https://profiles.wordpress.org/phoenix36/) Schaner 14, 2025 Very good and easy to use.

It cleaned up several unused CPT orphans and cleared them from my website’s database without causing any problems. Hope the developer will test and update the plugin with the current version of WordPress so it feels a bit more secure to use. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b1e4abc7b69392cd2a36addb6ff40dfbc270ae8d841ed5dc118ef0a922801038? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[only CLEARS fields but does not DELETE them, as the description make you believe](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/only-clears-fields-but-does-not-delete-them-as-the-description-make-you-believe/)󠁿 [volkerforster](https://profiles.wordpress.org/volkerforster/) October 15, 2023 3 replies Not impressed. Description says „This plugin offers a simple interface to edit or delete any Custom Field names/keys you may have created in the post/page editor. Deleting a Custom Field also deletes the associated content, so use with caution!“ It only deleted the CONTENT from a custom field, but it definitely does NOT delete the field.I have so much meta-garbage collected over the years, and there is obviously no way to clean this mess up. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8ffbb1e2a291a6d97f18d0d1f1d537cbda31f17489293ead6986a21514714af6? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[I find this plugin useful](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-find-this-plugin-useful/)󠁿 [Alex 六十 Karpov](https://profiles.wordpress.org/justsmilepeople/) Favrer 2, 2023 Time saver!
