   can you build a removal routine into the plugin?
   I am asking as I have still some problems with the plugin and I'd like to erase all traces of it to try with a fresh installation of the plugin.
   I know I can manually delete the generated tables but I'd like to also delete all of its options.
   could you maybe supply a mysql code for this please?
   I basically went through all available versions of the plugin and the installation is pretty screwed up.

   Again true,

   The auto-upgrade start working from 1.3.5 and up.
   If you have an older version of the plugin and want to remove all the tables, run this in phpmyadmin:

   DROP TABLE IF EXISTS wp_photocontest;
   DROP TABLE IF EXISTS wp_photocontest_admin;
   DROP TABLE IF EXISTS wp_photocontest_config;
   DROP TABLE IF EXISTS photocontest_votes;

   the problem with the auto-upgrade, is that there is no difference between deleting the plugin (you want get rid of it) and the deleting while doing an auto-upgrade.

   so if I activate the above code, then you will lose all your data when using auto-upgrade...

   ok, but I know some plugins have an UNISNTALL button, that completely removes the plugin and all its settings.
   Meanwhile I can delete those tables manually, but aren't there any options stored in the DB?
   Or is everything kept in those 4 tables?

   There are 3 extra values in the options table:

   Run these commands to clear this as well:
   DELETE FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'wppc_redirect_to' LIMIT 1;
   DELETE FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'PC_DB_VERSION' LIMIT 1;
   DELETE FROM wp_options WHERE option_name = 'PC_PL_VERSION' LIMIT 1;
