+If you used old Commerce packages before, and have migrated everything, you can remove the old tables.
+The removable tables are prefixed with `ses_` and `sve_`.
+
+=== "MySQL"
+
+    To list the removable tables:
+    ``` sql
+    SHOW TABLES FROM `<database_name>` WHERE `Tables_in_<database_name>` LIKE 'ses_%' OR `Tables_in_<database_name>` LIKE 'sve_%';
+    ```
+
+    To build a query to drop all those tables and execute it as a statement:
+    ``` sql
+    SELECT CONCAT('DROP TABLE ', GROUP_CONCAT('`', `table_schema`, '`.`', `table_name`, '`' SEPARATOR ', '))
+      INTO @drop_query
+      FROM `information_schema`.`tables`

+      WHERE schemaname='public' AND tableowner='<database_name>' AND (tablename LIKE 'ses_%' OR tablename LIKE 'sve_%');
+    ```
+
+    To loop through the tables to drop them (be sure to use the right database with `\connect <database_name>;`.):
+    ```sql
+    DO $drop$
+      DECLARE table_row RECORD;
+      BEGIN
+        FOR table_row IN

+          LOOP
+            EXECUTE 'DROP TABLE ' || table_row.table_name;
