 * Hi,
    How to delete data on uninstall?
 * I believe this option is important in all WP plugins to keep databases healthy.
   
   Unfortunately I didn’t find an option in SEOPress.
 * *English isn’t my first language, so please excuse any mistakes.
 * Thanks.

 * Hi,
 * to remove all SEOPress’ data, go to your database (using phpmyadmin for example)
   and search everything starting by “seopress_” with LIKE operator in the options
   and posts meta tables.
 * Delete all entries.
 * **Backup your DB first!**

 * Got it.
    Is there any estimate for a menu option (even for pro customers) to 
   remove data or something like that (rankmath.com/kb/uninstall)?
 * Thanks for the very fast return!

 * Hello, Has this feature been implemented yet to delete the data from the database
   on uninstall. I am an active user of the plugin and have no intention of changing
   my allegance but would prefer the option to be available.

 * One of these entries under Options, is the User Roles, however. Okay to delete
   that?

 * If it starts by “seopress_” yes.
 * Always backup your database first!
