    Hello,
    i am trying to uninstall your plugin.
    On the site they have entrusted to me, your plugin is installed: MailPoet 2, MailPoet 2 Premium, MailPoet 3 (new), MailPoet 3 Premium (New).

    I need to uninstall these plugins and delete the data and tables from the database. I used your guide to clear data and tables, but it didn’t work.
    After installing and activating your “MailPoet uninstall” plugin, various messages were displayed saying that the data and tables were deleted.
    But actually checking the database there are a lot of “mailpoet” tables

    I followed this guide.
    https://docs.mailpoet.com/article/38-instructions-to-completely-uninstall-wysija

    Can you tell me the correct procedure
    Thank you

    Hi there @woodypad,

    I understand you are trying to remove MailPoet data from your site/database.

    Just to clarify, the guide you linked to is from the MailPoet 2 knowledgebase, and the plugin described there is only applicable to the MailPoet 2 tables.

    For MailPoet 3, there is not currently a built-in option or “uninstall plugin”. However, there’s some information about the tables to delete in the forum post here:

    I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions.

    Hi there again,

    Ah, I see the GitHub URL in the other post is now showing a 404 error.

    The correct place for the file it was pointing to is here:
    https://github.com/mailpoet/mailpoet/blob/master/mailpoet/lib/Config/Migrator.php

    It looks like this file also lists the tables:
    https://github.com/mailpoet/mailpoet/blob/master/mailpoet/lib/Config/Database.php

    Hi @kellymetal,
    I’m sorry but it’s not clear to me what to do.

    The tables listed in the database are so many.
    Could selecting them one by one and deleting them create problems?

    You can point me to a procedure.
    Thank you

    PS.Why didn’t you include such a useful feature in your plugin, you could activate it in the settings when needed.
    I read you say you do it for accidental deletion, it’s a false problem, everything in wordpress works like this, and of course there are always backups.

    I’m waiting
    Thank you

    Hi there @woodypad,

    We don’t have a step-by-step guide for that, but you would essentially just be deleting those tables that MailPoet created.

    The specific table names would depend on your site’s database prefix though — generally “wp_mailpoet_” and then each name listed on the lines selected here:
    https://github.com/mailpoet/mailpoet/blob/master/mailpoet/lib/Config/Migrator.php#L42-L73

    I would definitely recommend making sure you have a complete backup of the database before you start. If you are unsure about accessing your database, then your host should be able to assist with that.

    PS.Why didn’t you include such a useful feature in your plugin, you could activate it in the settings when needed.

    It would be great if you could add it as a suggestion/enhancement request on our feedback/ideas board here: https://feedback.mailpoet.com

    Our team will take it into account when discussing new improvements for the plugin.

    Hi @woodypad,

    We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved – we’ll be here if and/or when you are ready to continue.
