Does not remove mySQL entries on uninstall

    FYI: I was just cleaning up my wp_options config file and installing and de-installing my plugins to see what was required and not required by existing plug-ins.

    I noticed Seamless plug-ins on uninstall does not remove any of its ~30+ entries made into wp_options with the autoload set to “yes”. This means that even though users may or may not still have the plug-in loaded their site will be negatively affected by these many entries. Preferably they could be consolidated, but at minimum they should be removed on deinstall.

    I agree. Actually, I’d want that to be a user’s option, but yes, I agree in spirit. From the point of view of performance, a few extra option entries in a database that can handle millions of records won’t matter. But from a completionist and cleanliness perspective, the plugin shouldn’t leave footprints behind.

    Over time, I’ll try to add that to the code. That’s a way off for now, though.
