    I would like to stop using the plugin and always want to make sure to remove 100% of the traces of a plugin when removing it, including any files and any traces in the database.
    Of course I could simply deactivate and delete the plugin via the WordPress admin interface but this usually doesn’t do the trick completely.

    Do you have any documentation or guidance on how to remove all traces of the plugin?

    Btw, your plugin seems to work fine, and has lots of nice functionality, so my impression is positive. It just turned out that what I wanted was possible with the standard WP functionality plus some custom fields.

    Hi there. In terms of database, Link Library removes all of its data from the options table if you go through a proper deletion from your admin panel. Before deleting it, you may want to just use a plugin like Bulk Delete to delete all of the post items of type link_library_links in all post statuses. These do not get deleted by the plugin upon deletion. You should not find anything else related to Link Library after following these steps.
