Important! Store Manager creates additional database tables, for internal use only:
sm_products_filter
sm_ebay_logs_items
sm_ebay_logs
Those tables do not affect the Magento itself and can be deleted if needed. Once deleted you will loose filter parameters, product mapping in addons like eBay, Aamzon, and some other internal data. You will need to setup the mapping and column filters again after you delete the tables.
Operations available via the menus include:
