Thanks for bringing this up, Michael. We faced a similar issue on our real estate site The Real Estate Karachi — Elementor-related options continued to autoload even after complete removal of the plugin.

Here’s what worked for us:

1. We used a plugin like Advanced DB Cleaner to scan and manually remove orphaned options (look for elementor_% in wp_options).
2. Accessed the database directly via phpMyAdmin and ran: sqlCopyEditSELECT * FROM wp_options WHERE option_name LIKE '%elementor%'; Then carefully deleted unused ones only if we were sure they weren’t required by any active plugin or theme.
3. As a safety step, we also disabled autoloading for certain options like: sqlCopyEditUPDATE wp_options SET autoload = 'no' WHERE option_name = 'elementor_pro_remote_info_api_data_3.2.1';

If Site Health is returning “option does not exist,” it may be a permissions or database cache issue. Try clearing object cache (if using any) and reloading the Site Health tool.

Hope this helps!
