## Description

For site owners and ops teams reviewing leftover plugin data after uninstalls or
migrations — nothing is deleted on a schedule.

**Free**

 * Scan WordPress options left by inactive or deleted plugins
 * Review and delete selected options
 * Cleanup action log

**Pro**

 * Table, transient, and cron event detection
 * Confidence and risk labels
 * Ignore rules / allowlist (option names or table prefixes never suggested)
 * Expanded signature pack for common plugins
 * Export-before-delete JSON backup

Unknown-origin tables are review-only. Always review before delete.

This Free package is fully usable on its own. Pro is distributed separately via 
Freemius.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`
 2. Activate through the Plugins screen
 3. Open **Deskhush Cleanup** in the dashboard

## FAQ

### Does this lock paid features inside the free plugin?

No. Everything shipped in this package works. Pro scan types and export live in 
the Pro package.

### Does this support WordPress Multisite?

Not in v1. Use on single-site installs only.

### Will it auto-delete data?

No. v1 never schedules automatic deletion. Unknown-risk / unknown-origin tables 
cannot be deleted through this plugin. Known leftover tables require typing DELETE
to confirm.

### Is delete safe?

Treat deletes as irreversible. Export or back up the site before removing tables
or large option sets. If an item is marked unknown, leave it until you are sure 
it belongs to a removed plugin.
