# Uninstall plugin completely

 * Hello,
 * When I deactivated/uninstall a plugin, the options or the tables that the plugin
   created are not removed. As I install and uninstall a lot of plugin, there will
   be more and more orphaned options and tables that are taking up precious space
   in my database.
 * I want to use a plugin to hunt down the orphaned options and delete them from
   the database.
 * Any insights?
 * Thanks

 * Hi jessicana!
 * I’ve never used a plugin like this, but maybe you will find something that fits
   the bill here:
