Traces after uninstall. Yes or not?

    Hi,
    I want to transfer data from my existing wordpress installation to a new, fresh installation.

    Over the years, so much garbage from various plugins and themes has accumulated in the database and various folders that I have no choice but to start with a new installation.

    I want to use your plugin.
    But please tell me, does your plugin leave any traces, junks in the database or folders after doing its work and installing it or or leaves wordpress completely untouched?

    I am asking because I do not want to collect another portion of garbage in the new installation. I hope that you understand me.

    Thanks in advance for your answer

    OK, I see that traces in the database remain despite the plug-in uninstallation – that is, tables must be removed manually ??

    … and folder in wp-content/uploads

    Missed something?
    Maybe there are traces somewhere else?

    That’s correct, they’re left so that you don’t lose your export/import settings if you re-install the plugin.

    Missed something? Maybe there are traces somewhere else?

    There might be some options in the options database table (look for *pmxe*, *pmxi*, *wp_all_import*, *wpai*, *wp_all_export*, *wpae*), but it’s likely not many.

    Hi @lesliex,

    I’m marking this as resolved since it’s been inactive for a while. Please open up a new topic if you still have questions.
