Stuff left behind in the database

    Why does this plugin, after I removed it, leave stuff behind in the database?

    I see at least two tables that are part of this plugin (I don’t know if it created more).

    snippets and ms_snippets

    I looked for a setting, before deactivating and deleting, that offered to remove everything. But either there wasn’t one or I overlooked it. So what’s going on?

    Okay I just found out I needed to use the complete uninstall through the settings. So I re-installed, activated, checked that box and deactivated and removed the plugin. However it still leaves the ms_snippets table (and maybe other tables I don’t know off).

    Is this normal behaviour?

    The ms_snippets table should be removed as well when the plugin is deleted with ‘complete uninstall’ active. I’ll take a look and see if it’s a problem in the plugin.

    That’s awesome of you!

    Any news on this one?

    Are there any other tables added by the plugin?

    The only tables the plugin adds is ms_snippets (only on multisite networks) and snippets on each site in a multisite network (or just once for a single-site installs).
