How can I reduce the installed size of phpMyAdmin on disk? ¶

Some users have requested to be able to reduce the size of the phpMyAdmin installation. This is not recommended and could lead to confusion over missing features, but can be done. A list of files and corresponding functionality which degrade gracefully when removed include:

• ./vendor/tecnickcom/tcpdf folder (exporting to PDF)
• ./locale/ folder, or unused subfolders (interface translations)
• Any unused themes in ./themes/
• ./js/vendor/jquery/src/ (included for licensing reasons)
• ./js/line_counts.php (removed in phpMyAdmin 4.8)
• ./doc/ (documentation)
• ./setup/ (setup script)
• ./examples/
• ./sql/ (SQL scripts to configure advanced functionality)
• ./js/vendor/openlayers/ (GIS visualization)
