I want to change domain name of one of my WordPress website. I tried various wordpress plugin like 'search & replace' etc. They changed most of the old domain name to new domain name in my database. But when I search for the old domain name record in the phpMyAdmin, I still find some old domain records. I don't know how to replace them with new domain name. Is there any way to do this, like any guide or video or article? Please help.

Export the entire database as an .sql file. Make a copy (so that in any case, you keep the original). In the copy, do a search and replace in Notepad++. In phpMyAdmin remove all tables. Import the edited sql-file.
Done.

if you don't want to use any plugin then use below free and tested script.
You can use it for any kind of MySql db including wordpress.

Database Search and Replace Script in PHP | inter.connect

Search Replace DB is a powerful tool for developers, allowing them to run a search replace against their database where CLI tools or WP plugins can’t work.

Out of all the answers, this method is very easy and most helpful. Thanks again. My question is is there any wordpress plugins which can do such task.

additionally to above idea;

you can use below plugins

1. BlogVault – Best WordPress migration plugin we have tested. Simple 3 step process. Also happens to be the best backup solution for WordPress as well. Plugin runs on its own servers so it won’t slow down your site.
2. UpdraftPlus Migrator Extension – A premium add-on for the most popular WordPress backup plugin.
3. Duplicator – Great migration plugin. Can be used to clone websites as well. Free version available.
4. All-In-One WP Migration – This migration plugin is specifically focused on website migrations. Free version available with paid extensions.

BlogVault is go-to plugin because it offers other critical features, not just website migrations.
The migrator extension from UpdraftPlus is another great option if you use their core backup plugin.Duplicator is a great option if you need a plugin to handle migrations and website cloning.If you want a dedicated free migration plugin for your WordPress website, check it All-In-One WP Migrations.
