    Hello WordPress community,

    Is it somehow possible to see the plugins that I’ve once had, but deleted on the site?

    Thank you all for your time.

    – Do you have a good backup of you site (including database) from prior to deleting these plugins?

    – If not, try asking the authors of those plugins if these plugins leave behind any remnants in the database after you delete theme.

    Some plugins leave tables or other traces of themselves behind where others do not, and I am not aware of anything in the database that would offer a list of deleted plugins. However, I just did a search for instances of ‘inactive’ in one of my databases and was able to extract a listing of plugins that had been deactivated such as you would normally do prior to deletion. I also tried a search for ‘recently’ to possibly find “recently active”, but that only returned “recently activated”.
