    I uninstalled the plugin – as I was testing to see if it is what I need. I am not using the plugin anymore on my site, so uninstalled it. However it is still showing some residue in the database – ie: There is a user role called “AOL Jury” which shouldn’t be there after deletion and other mentions. Please assist on how to clean up

    Hi pixelzoo,

    On deactivation, latest plugin version removes any user role created on activation. We have tested it once again on your query & it is working fine. You should also remove all ads & applications before deactivation of the plugin (you can do this by again installing this plugin.)

    Although, some other data related to plugin settings remains in the database to avoid inconvenience in case of accidentally deactivation of the plugin by the admin. Think about a situation where you have 10s of ads & have received 100s of applications & admin accidentally deactivates the plugin.

    If you installed this plugin for testing purpose then the data in the database will be tiny & will not create any trouble for you.

    Best Regards.

    ok I understand thanks. I did have to delete the remains of the plugin from the database manually.
