Database Error messages

On a new install I am getting these db errors in the admin area:

———————————-
Database table wp_esp_country exists when it shouldn’t, and may contain erroneous data. If you have previously restored your database from a backup that didn’t remove the old tables, then we recommend adding

define( ‘EE_DROP_BAD_TABLES’, TRUE );

to your wp-config.php file then restore to that backup again. This will clear out the invalid data from wp_esp_country. Afterwards you should undo that change from your wp-config.php file.
If you cannot edit wp-config.php, you should remove the data from wp_esp_country manually then restore to the backup again.
———————————-

I have never done any kind of backup or restore, this is a new install.
I’ve got about 16 of these messages. Should I just Dismniss?>
What are the ramifications of not doing anything?

Thanks!

Hello,

When was Event Espresso 4 installed? If you just got started, then you could use the Maintenance reset/delete option to clear out any existing information and the tables will be re-created.

Note that this is equivalent to starting as new.
