Hey Instamaker

You could do this commands on the shell (backup + on your own risk!)

We do them regularly but I could give you no garanty.

There is a new plugin which does some campaign\_lead\_event\_log cleanups:

\*\*Update: \*\*  
**Sorry made a mistake in the audit log statement. Fixed it in the gist.**

Greetings  
Sebastian
