 * Good day:
 * While I do plan on adding the AddThis plugin back, I removed the plugin via the
   WordPress 3.1.3 GUI (including deleting the associated files via the GUI), but
   AddThis continues to remain being associated with brand new posts and pages.
 * Questions:
 * 1. Why wasn’t the inactivation and subsequent removal of AddThis enough to have
   it remove all database entries so that existing and new pages and posts do not
   have AddThis associated with them?
 * Example: See [http://www.dynamicnet.net/managed-hosting/shared-web-hosting/overselling-guarantee/](http://www.dynamicnet.net/managed-hosting/shared-web-hosting/overselling-guarantee/)
   where AddThis is under the words, “supersedes this guarantee.” even though we
   have the plugin removed completely via the WordPress 3.1.3 GUI.
 * 2. What steps are necessary to do what the uninstaller should have done to clean
   up the code / database?
 * Thank you.
