Reinstall Network WordPress – Save Posts

Have you tried unsuccessfully to Recover Your WordPress Network? Yes, I just want to reinstall the WordPress Network. OK, delete the network tables listed below. If you do not delete any of the Basic tables listed further down, you probably won’t need to reinstall WordPress. Any posts you had on the main site will also be preserved. If you need to preserve posts from any of the sub-sites, tables named wp_#_xxxx, you should solicit professional help.
