Clearing database logs in Magento 2

Question

We've recently migrated from Magento 1 to Magento 2 and it seems that there is a large amount of information in our database files.

We'd like to try to mitigate this by clearing the log files but unlike Magento 1, there does not seem to be a built in facility to do this in Magento 2.

Is there a way to clean out the log files in the database in Magento 2 so that we can hopefully free up some space.

Our database is accessible through phpmyadmin if that helps.

Answer 1

these are the tables you can clear/exclude from dumping:

• "email_abandoned_cart"
• "email_automation"
• "email_campaign"
• "email_contact"
• "persistent_session"
• "report_compared_product_index"
• "report_event"
• "report_viewed_product_aggregated_daily"
• "report_viewed_product_aggregated_monthly"
• "report_viewed_product_aggregated_yearly"
• "report_viewed_product_index"
• "session"
