 * I had Updraft plus for a while, with backups going to my google drive. When I
   switched hosting I started getting automatic backups, so I deleted the plugin.
   
   But it’s still going! Every so often I get a notification from google saying 
   my drive storage is full, and I go in and it’s full of backups! But I’ve deleted
   the plugin! I even reinstalled it, disconnected it from my google drive, and 
   then deleted it again… AND IT’S STILL GOING!! Please can someone tell me how 
   to make it stop because it’s driving me mad! Thanks

 * Hi,
 * Can you reset UpdraftPlus settings? There is a wipe option in the “Advance Tools”
   tab. After wiping out settings, you have to re-setup backup schedules, remote
   storage setup and other settings you had.
 * Regards,
