    Is there an option to remove the MonsterInsights database tables when uninstalling the plugin? It doesn’t seem to remove them when deleting the plugin.

    What is monsterinsights_lite_uninstall_hook used for? I see that within the uninstall_plugins option_name value within wp_options.

    monsterinsights_lite_uninstall_hook deletes the options/settings for MonsterInsights when the plugin is deleted

    Note, this hook does not run if either of the following conditions exist:
    – You have MI Pro installed (since Pro automatically uses the options from Lite, so they need to stay)
    – The plugin is just deactivated (the hook only runs when the plugin is deleted, not when its deactivated)

    There are still 2 references to monsterinsights in the database though, within wp_options:

    Within cron is monsterinsights_usage_tracking_cron

    And within uninstall_plugins is monsterinsights_lite_uninstall_hook
