 * Hi, I have been trying with a local WordPress installation to try some plugins.
   I have found that when I remove a plugin the database still stores some information
   related to the plugin. Is there any way to remove old plugins data? Is there 
   any problem with installing and uninstalling plugins?
 * Thanks for your help and knowledge.

 * Some plugins will remove the plugin data if you de-activate them. For plugins
   that don’t do this you will have to remove it manually from the database. Before
   you do this make a backup so you can always revert back if you need to:
