# Maintenance Maintenance is a new addition in XOOPS 2.5.0. Its goal is to provide basic operations that are helpful to keep your Website healthy and efficient: * Clean Cache folders from old files, so there is no clutter there * Empty Session tables * Basic operation on tables: * Optimize * Check * Repair * Analyze * Dump or Backup of your tables ![img\_87.jpg](/files/-LD6N2H4HeFlSnqj6z2M) In the past you had to use external tools for this (e.g. phpMyAdmin), but now we can offer you extra convenience to do it from within XOOPS Admin. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
