# Remove Plugin

 * I’d like to be able to remove the plugin completely. When I deactivate it and
   delete it, it leaves traces of the icons on my homepage that I cannot remove.
   These dead icon placeholders just sit on the right side of the page. I want them
   gone.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fremove-plugin-37%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Do I need to somehow alter the TEMPLATE in order to get rid of this? Why would
   your plugin write to my template and not undo it when it is deactivated? This
   feels like spam to me.
