It's a good idea, but you obviously have to be careful to only remove the right stuff!

Yes that's safe. Make a backup of the table (you can download it if you're trying to save space on the server) and then delete away.

You can keep recent entries with a query similar to this:

Code: Select all

delete FROM `oc_customer_ip` WHERE `date_added` < '2021-04-19'
That would delete everything from 04-18 and older. You can change the criteria to anything you want (for example just 2021 would delete everything from 2020 and older).
