 * Hi.
    First of all thank you for wonderful service and great plugin.
 * My situation:
    I’m a completely redesign my site. In the new design, the dimensions
   of thumbnails are changed, also changed the watermark. So I manually fully restored
   all uncompressed images from the backup and regenerate thumbnails for them. Now
   I want to re-compress all the images with the help of your wonderful plugin. 
   However, the plugin data still remain on database and my media library continues
   to appear images as compressed, although now they are not. How to completely 
   clear information about your plugin from the database? I tried to uninstall and
   reinstall it again, but the data is still remain. Thank you.

 * Hi! Thanks for your kind words!
 * The metadata about compressed images is saved in the WordPress database, in the
   table `wp_postmeta` with the value of `meta_key` set to `tiny_compress_images`.
 * You might use a database administration tool to delete the rows that have the
   key `tiny_compress_images` to clear the compression information.
 * Of course, editing the database directly is a potentially dangerous operation,
   and we strongly advise you to make a database backup first.
 * If the amount of images is limited, it might be easier to just re-upload the 
   original images. Hope this helps! Good luck.

 * It works, thanks.
    In any case, it will be better to add this opportunity into
   plugin’s settings.
