 * Uninstalling a plugin after deleting it for some unknown reason does not work.
   This is my code:
 *     ```
       function sb_uninstall_plugin(){
       	global $wpdb, $sb_ip_log;
   
       	delete_option("sb_detection_of_spammers_cookies");
       	delete_option("sb_detection_of_spammers_time");
       	delete_option("sb_banned_message");
       	$wpdb->query("DROP TABLE $sb_ip_log");
       }
   
       register_uninstall_hook(__FILE__, 'sb_uninstall_plugin');
       ```
   
 * The value of the option _uninstall\_plugins_ in the table wp_options: a:2:{i:
   0;b:0;s:22:”sb/spammer-blocker.php”;s:19:”sb_uninstall_plugin”;}
 * I also tried using uninstall.php without any success.
    **Thank you for your help!**
