    I have disabled this plugin and I want to fully uninstall it. Are there instructions on how to fully clean up after removing this plugin? I didn’t notice any on the main plugin page, but perhaps it is documented somewhere else? Thanks in advance.

    Hey @shaunek! ??

    Like any plugin, you can go to the ‘Plugins’ panel of your WordPress admin dashboard, check the box next to the plugin to select it, and use the ‘Delete’ action from the dropdown menu at the top of the table.

    @valwa Thanks for the reply, but I guess I wasn’t clear in my original post. Some plugins do a really good job of cleaning up after themselves by deleting all their config data, cached files, etc, but most just leave all their data behind. What I was actually wanting to know is if there is a way to fully clean up all the data that this plugin has generated, including but not limited to entries in the options table (or other tables), image files, etc. Maybe deleting the plugin the the normal way or via wp-cli will do all the data clean up itself, but I didn’t see any documentation about that. And I also grep’ed for the function “register_uninstall_hook” and I didn’t see it referenced, so I’m guessing this plugin doesn’t actually do anything when it is uninstalled. My apologies for not explicitly asking those details before.
