After importing my staging site into DevKinsta, I noticed that there are duplicate tables in the database. Some have the prefix wp\_ and others have the prefix wpkw\_. For example, the tables [wpkw\_posts] and [wp\_posts] both have duplicate data. These duplicate tables do not exist on the staging site until I import it into DevKinsta. Why would this be happening and is there a way to correct it?

I deleted the site and then imported it again and everything is fine now. No duplicates in this new import.
