 * Hi I have been removing old plugin data in the phpmyadmin database and also the
   options it leaves behind. If I do a search for an old plugin it shows up still
   for capabilities, so how to remove the old ones from your plugin please. The 
   list is so huge for the capabilities.
    I removed some and then couldn’t access
   the site.

 * Hi [@nanny7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nanny7/)
 * Thanks for using PubishPress Capabilities.
 * Our plugin does offer a way to roll back any changes you make to capabilities
   on your site:
    [https://publishpress.com/knowledge-base/backup-restore-permissions/](https://publishpress.com/knowledge-base/backup-restore-permissions/)
 * If you have made changes directly via the database, this may still work for you,
   but please be careful.
