Hi @rickstar123
thank you for your thread.
As you have already seen, the plugin folder name doesn’t change after deleting the plugin.
Actually, for you, this was nice, for other users may be something they don’t like because they may think that removing the plugin all should be restored as before.
It doesn’t restore the original plugins folder name on deletion, but you can do it before removing the plugin, just renaming the plugin folder with “plugins” before deactivating and deleting it. Because you have this possibility, I’ve decided to don’t complicate the deletion process. The best was asking the user what to do before the deletion, maybe I will add this feature in the future if I see other users complain it should restore the situation as it was before the installation.
In any case, if you were worried about the performance, you could keep it active. This plugin does nothing, but only when you push the button to change the folder name. It doesn’t write anything in the database, No line of code runs on the frontend. In the backend, just a couple of lines of code to print the form to rename the plugins folder, and they run only on the plugin page. Then a couple of lines of code to add the plugin page link to the admin menu. Nothing else.
Of course, if it was to see fewer plugins, it was a good idea to delete it, but don’t be worried about the performance, if it’s active or not active it is the same for the performance of your website, both on the backend and frontend. On the frontend, it completely doesn’t exist, and on backend, you would not notice any difference if you measure the backend performance.
