    @docofmedia Hi there, I originally used URLs that were 5 characters long, and now I want them to be 4 characters long instead. I updated the “Shortn URL Length” to 4 instead of 5, and I want to regenerate the short URLs for my thousands of pages and posts. How can I automate this?

    Note: I haven’t used this live yet, so I won’t be breaking any previously generated short URLs.

    Would uninstalling and deleting remove all of the data? Or do I need to somehow manually remove the data? If so, how would I go about that?

    I answered my own question.

    For anyone else who needs to regenerate their short URLs for all of their posts, there is an option to delete the files and data when you uninstall and then delete this plugin from wp-admin. Then, when you reinstall the plugin, all of your short URLs will be freshly reset with any new formatting rules that you apply. Obviously be careful with this on a live site if you already used a bunch of short URLs in previous links (in social media, etc).
