You’re cleaning up your hosting and stumble across old databases — should you delete them?
Maybe… but be careful. Deleting an active database can break your website or app. Before you start nuking anything, you need to know exactly what you’re looking at.
✅ In this episode, Charly explains:
- How to identify which databases are still in use
- What clues to look for in names and timestamps
- How to safely test whether a database is connected to a live site
- What precautions to take before deleting (like backups!)
- Why regular cleanup matters for performance and security
Don’t guess — check. A little caution now can save a big mess later.
