Description of my issue:

I'm looking to move a site to new hosts and have not been in the backend for a while - probably a year! Just noticed the deprecated Lazy Scheduling plugin was still active and has created multiple failed backups over the past year, approximately 1,00,000!! So i have around 990 pages (when set to show 100) of failed backups - see attached grab. I think this is making the database read time very slow as a result. I want to delete all these prior to making final backup and moving the site, but it takes ages to delete one page, let alone 990+

Is there a quicker method using PHPMyAdmin and some SQL commands on specific tables that you could enlighten me about please?

You can empty the contents of the abc_ak_stats table, where abc_ is the database table prefix for your site. Please note that the Lazy Scheduling plugin is broken, deprecated and no longer supported. I strongly advise AGAINST using it.
