 * Ok, so I have tried SEVERAL times to deactivate, delete and then reinstall and
   activate this plugin in order to start all over. It simply will not let me do
   it. Everything remains the same, and I did a complete overhaul of my website 
   so now everything is all messed up. How can this be fixed?

 * Hi [@disgruntledtrader](https://wordpress.org/support/users/disgruntledtrader/)
 * The plugin retains settings incase you are only deactivating temporarily, how
   annoying would it be if you disabled the plugin to test something, then re-activated
   it and everything had been deleted?
 * The only way to completely remove it, would be to manually delete the tables 
   in the database. If you go to Membership > Options > Advanced > Verify Membership
   Tables you will see a list of all the tables, you can then drop them using phpMyAdmin
   and it will be completely uninstalled ready for a fresh install.

 * Hey there.
 * We haven’t heard from you in awhile, so I just wanted to check in to make sure
   all was good.
 * This thread was marked resolved, but please, if you still need help then just
   respond and open it back up. We can then take it from there. 🙂
 * Hope you have a fantastic day!
