    I had the All In One WP Security & Firewall plugin installed on a site and then I decided to try out another a different plugin. However, I noticed after I deactivated and deleted the All In One WP Security & Firewall plugin, there were still six rows with the prefix _aiowps still in the database. I had to manually remove those from the database which is pretty damn lame.

    Hi, yes that is correct.

    Just to clarify your statement or comment above. Are you asking a question in regards to this issue or are you requesting that all tables should be removed when uninstalling the plugin.

    Thank you

    I’m just wondering why the tables are not removed after the plugin has been deactivated and deleted. If the plugin is not longer going to be used, what’s the point of keeping that data in the database? So people can have data in their databases for no reason except to take up space?
