Uninstalling leave a mess

  • Really poor programming. When a plugin is to be removed, it should not cause problems site wide, with Database tables remaining, htaccess file still full of litespeed junk. If you cant deinstall it, do not install it, there are other caches that cleanup after deinstall.

    Another point may worth to mention:

    We do have a todo which is an option during uninstallation process, to clean out all configurations and data.

    The initial purpose we didn’t remove is, many users are temp disabled the plugin to do some theme development or other troubleshootings. They don’t want to get all predefined LSCWP settings gone.

    Apologize for the unhappy experience you encountered.

    https://developer.www.ads-software.com/plugins/plugin-basics/uninstall-methods/

    When your plugin is uninstalled, you’ll want to clear out any plugin options and/or settings specific to the plugin, and/or other database entities such as tables.

    Less experienced developers sometimes make the mistake of using the deactivation hook for this purpose.

    It is not to remove these data on disabled (deactivated) the plugin but it is recommended to do this on uninstall the plugin. Please read WordPress plugin handbook.
