 * Hi,
    How can I completely uninstall this plugin (deleting all database entry 
   and tables)? I need this for some troubleshooting.

 * Hi [@impurnendu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/impurnendu/) thanks for 
   your question. There isn’t custom tables but yes, our data by default does remain
   on uninstall of the plugin.
 * If you wanted to remove this you could use `add_filter('web_stories_erase_data_on_uninstall','
   __return_true')` in a plugin or mu-plugin to force everything to clean up.
 * Please also note that there is an open [GitHub](https://github.com/GoogleForCreators/web-stories-wp/issues/8453)
   to look into the possibility of adding UI setting for data removal upon uninstall
   so please feel free to follow this.
 * Hope this helps and do let me know if you have any further questions.
