 * Hi there!
 * I duplicated a client site and deleted some forms for the new site. Now I have
   a red badge with an entries count, although I deleted all remaining entries.
 * After looking in the database I see some orphaned data, but these are not easy
   to delete manually, because they are in leads, leads_details and leads_notes.
 * As a workaround I checked “Remove all plugin data during plugin uninstall” in
   the settings and deactivated and deleted the plugin to erase this data and then
   re-installed and re-activated it.
 * Maybe this could be optimized in a future release. Detect and delete orphaned
   data or provide a button to do this.
 * Thanks in advance!
 * Alle the best
   Torsten
