 * You would like to remove all of your plugins, correct?
    1. Go to the plugins page, located at Plugins > Installed
    2. Click on the check box at the top left to select all of the plugins
    3. From the pulldown menu to the right of the check box, select “deactivate”
    4. Assuming you’re running the current version of WordPress, all plugins will now
       be grayed.
    5. Now, click the check box to select all the plugins again, and this time select“
       Delete” from the menu
    6. You will be redirected to a page that says something like “Really delete all
       your plugins? This action cannot be undone.”
    7. Just click “yes, delete all of my plugins”, or, if you would like to see the
       list of all the files that are going to be deleted you can click that button,
       but that shouldn’t be necessary.
    8. Let me know if that helps.

 * You’ll need to look at where each of the plugins stores there information then.
   To do that would mean opening up the files and looking through the code, should
   take a few minutes with a decent editor.
 * Or you could look directly in the database, comparing your current install to
   a new one.
 * If you’re looking for help determining where plugins stored data, then at a very
   minimum, anyone helping will need to know which plugins you were using.

 * Right, and that would mean using phpMyAdmin under your webhost’s cPanel. For 
   instance, if your db prefix is wp_ (which is a security issue) then look for 
   things like wp_featurific_image_cache and clear those tables. Just be _very_ 
   careful that you don’t delete things you need.

 * And how would this magical tool know exactly what plugins installed what, and
   where?
 * No, such a tool does not exist.. (for clarity)
 * Smart plugins do this automatically for you, for the rest you just do what everyone
   else does, and carefully removes un-necessary/unwanted left over data..
 * **NOTE:** Making changes to the database should be preceded by a backup.
