Hi, we moved out site to a new domain name, and the migration didn’t go well for Event Expresso due to the changes and updates. So we decided to do a fresh install of EE4 and start over with the plugin (recreate our events, etc). After uninstalling EE and re-installing it, our old corrupted events still appear, so uninstalling it seems to leave our event data in the database. Can you provide guidance on which tables we need to delete manually to actually do a full fresh install of EE? Thank you!

Hi there,
How did you uninstall?
Just to confirm, you want a clean fresh install of Event Espresso, removing all past events, registrations etc from the DB?

@Tony, correct. We want to keep the rest of the site we have but want to be able to do a fresh install of Event Expresso. (right now, re-installing the EE plugin just keeps our previous events that are broken or corrupted and cause critical errors on the site).

There are many valid reasons to ‘re-install’ a plugin without losing all of your data so we don’t wipe the data from the database when you reinstall.
If you are looking to completely drop all EE data then activate EE4.
Goto Event Espresso – Maintenance -> Reset/Delete Data
Click on the ‘Permanently Delete All Event Espresso Data’ button.
Just to be crystal clear, that will drop all of the current EE4 tables and remove the espresso_ post types (events and various others) from the wp_posts table, you can’t get any of that data back without a backup.
(I know that’s what you’ve asked for but just a quick disclaimer, you may want to create a database backup before moving forward)
