 * Hi,
 * I installed this plugin on a new site to test what would happen if in the future
   it is no longer supported or updated and stops working with the future versions
   of WP.
 * The plugin works just great! But when I deactivate it and delete it, the category
   page then return a 404 error and the permalink is still without /category/
 * I tried saving changes in settings>>permalink but the problem still persists.
   I tried it on the “uncategorized” category because I wanted to test the plugin
   before building out the site structure with it.
 * How is this plugin and its effects removed completely, so that permalinks go 
   back to having /category/?
 * I’m going to use the plugin and review 5 stars because it’s a super handy tool.
   But I must know how to fix this issue in the future.
 * Thanks! 🙂
