Clean up your WooCommerce database with AI
Measure the junk in your store's database, then clear expired transients, stale sessions, and old orders safely.
Prerequisites
A connected WooCommerce store and a recent database backup (this recipe deletes rows).
Before you change anything, confirm I have a recent database backup and stop if I do not. Then clean up my WooCommerce database in this order. First, measure and show me the counts only: expired transients, expired WooCommerce sessions, and cancelled or failed orders older than [90] days. That is the dry run, do not delete anything yet. After I confirm the numbers look right, purge the expired transients, then delete the expired sessions, then delete only the cancelled and failed orders older than [90] days, leaving every completed and recent order untouched. Ask for my approval before each deletion step and tell me how many rows each step removed.

Skip the copy-paste. Just ask your AI for the “Clean up your WooCommerce database with AI” recipe, or describe the task, and WPVibe runs these steps on your own site.
A busy WooCommerce store quietly piles junk into its database. Expired transients (cached scraps WordPress meant to throw away), thousands of stale customer session rows, and cancelled or failed orders you will never look at again. None of it shows on the front end, so it is easy to ignore, but it bloats your tables, slows admin queries, and pads every backup you take.
Ask your AI assistant and it starts by measuring, counting the expired transients, stale sessions, and old cancelled orders so you see the size of the problem before anything is touched. Then it clears them in the safe order: transients and sessions first, since those are pure cache, and old orders only when you say so. Every deletion runs through WPVibe’s approval step, so you review the exact rows and the count before they are removed. Nothing is deleted silently.
Take a database backup first, because this recipe deletes rows. Paste the prompt, read the before counts, and approve each purge when it asks. Keep the order cleanup conservative: only clear cancelled or failed orders past a date you are certain about, and never bulk-delete completed orders your accounting still needs. When in doubt, clear transients and sessions (always safe) and leave the orders alone.
Outcome
A leaner WooCommerce database with expired transients, stale sessions, and old cancelled orders removed, each purge reviewed and approved before it ran.
