BTW, I didn’t install it from the admin panel. I installed it manually in the mu-plugins folder.
Since it’s installed in mu-plugins you’ll need to delete everything manually. WordPress doesn’t provide any way to delete mu-plugins through the admin panel, and the uninstallation script that automatically cleans up the database won’t run if you delete it manually.
Anyway, here’s what you’ll need to do:
- Delete
/mu-plugins/admin-menu-editor-mu.php.
- Delete the directory
/mu-plugins/admin-menu-editor.
- If you used global menu settings: Delete the
ws_menu_editor entry from the wp_sitemeta.
- If you used per-site settings: Delete the
ws_menu_editor entry from all wp_xyz_options tables.
- Delete all
ame_show_hints entries from the wp_usermeta table. This step is only necessary if you installed the plugin a long time ago; the current version doesn’t create this key.

I used global menu settings and did this…
– Deleted /mu-plugins/admin-menu-editor-mu.php
– Deleted the directory /mu-plugins/admin-menu-editor
– Deleted the ws_menu_editor entry from the wp_sitemeta
I didn’t see anything in wp_usermeta, so I think I am clean.
Thanks

I do have a question about your free plugin though…
I had it installed on a network and started setting up the custom menus, but soon realized that me, as a Super Admin, could no longer see the original menu items when I went to a subsite.
Is this the limitation of the free plugin?
Or is there some setting I missed so that Super Admins still can have visibility to all original menus?
I planned to have one menu setting for all siteadmins, but think that Super Admins need to be given the option to set to keep the original menu visible.
Thanks

What settings did you change to hide these menu items? In general, the easiest way to ensure that only Super Admins can see a menu item is to set “Required capability” to “super_admin”.
