 * Hi,
 * I have tried your plugin but it did not suit my purpose. I tried to uninstall
   it with the option to completely remove all data activated. The strange thing
   is, when I am using a new schema plugin I have duplicated values for Organization
   and Website.
    So I reinstalled the plugin and activated it without putting anything
   into any of the fields. Then I DON’T have the duplicate issue. Only when I deactivate
   your plugin the problem appears. I want to compeltely remove it. How can I get
   rid of all of its code?
 * Thank you,
    Alex

 * Hi Alex,
 * Have you Deleted the plugin completely from you site?
 * There is a difference between (Deactivate and Uninstall) so if you **Delete**
   the plugin, that will result on removing all post meta and plugin settings from
   database.
 * I’ve just tested the Uninstall function, it does remove post meta and plugin 
   settings. It’s working for me as it should.
 * The plugin won’t be able to output anything if it’s deactivated ( and of course
   is Uninstalled), so the duplicated markup is certainly generated by something
   else. I can’t think of another possibility.
 * When you install and activate the plugin again (or for the first time), it will
   start to produce the markup again, it will actually prepare itself to output 
   the markup for you, even though you haven’t configured any settings, so that’s
   why you see it (again).
 * If you have selected the option to remove plugin data on Uninstall, and you’ve
   deleted the plugin but this didn’t work for you. Then maybe something went wrong,
   I hope you can find anything useful about this error in your error logs.
 * I highly recommend that you don’t try new plugins on your live site, or make 
   sure to backup your database before installing any new plugins.

 * Yes I have tried every combination, I deactivated it and I also deleted (uninstalled)
   it.
    When the plugin is gone, the duplicate issue is there, when it is active
   the markup just shows the one from my other schema plugin. So it is working exactly
   the other way round as it should. How can I remove it? I really just want to 
   uninstall it completely but it is not possible. Please help me with that.
