 * using the “clear data” button in settings does not remove database tables
    Deactivating
   the plugin and then removing it does not remove database tables
 * Deactivation and deletion of the plugin should trigger the WordPress hook for
   plugin deletion and then remove the tables created by the plugin.

 * Hi [@thezman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thezman/),
 * Please note that Clear Data means “clear data”, it does not mean clear database
   tables.
    But if you want to remove database tables, you can try to operate them
   manually. Hope that helps.
 * Cheers,
