Erasing old traces in database

Hello

Due to many errors from mysefl, I have problems with albums descriptions remaining in the data base.
One is an albumset called expos an the other is the spécific pages-gallery album.
When I had to re-created them ( they were no more present in galleries folder, probably due to the way the site has been rebuild), did I get a message saying that the slug allready exist and that the new slugs will get a trailing 1,  and it works pretty well so.
Now did I discover in Rod's Trick an tips site, thanks for that, the way to achieve the concerned part of the database and effectively can I sea the old items.

I suppose I can delete these twoo outdated items, but is it a real advantage doing in, and should I reconfigure the twoo new items for making the trailing 1 to disappear ? Won't it be worse?

Re: Erasing old traces in database

once you delete the old album references, you should be able to rename the slugs of the existing items, removing the -1.

As always, make sure you back up the Publisher database before making any changes. Just in case.

This is certainly a very good advice, but how can I do That? Is it possible to do it in TTG BE ADMIN, or have I to simply back up the data folder included in Root/ttg-be when logged in the site host by FTP? I suppose the second option is the good one.
