Removing 'www' from primary blog on network

I have a network that was set up using www (even though the guide says not
to).

Is there a way to fix this?

I have tried updating wp-config.php, wp_blogs and wp_site.

I can get it to the point where all the non-primary sites and their domain
mappings appear to work. The primary blog works, and the /network/ can be
browsed.

However, the two issues appear to be:
1. Browsing /network/ is done on www site
2. Adding new sites fails with 'Are you sure you want to do this?'

Thanks!

Check wp_options too. The home and siteurl entries often remain oroblematic.

Actually, you may want to search the whole DB to see what lingers. But beware serialized data :/

A script like this one can help with the serialized data search + replace, at least:

Have used it a few times when moving a multisite over to a new core domain (in addition to any non-db changes like wp-config.php) and has worked well.

Just a couple days ago I used that script to migrate over a large
important multisite with no issue other than script timeouts. If that
happens to you simply select a few tables at a time and repeat the
process till complete

Thanks all

I also needed to update wp_sitemeta to set the siteurl.
