 * I’ll add a “Reset and Deactivate” option in the Reports Admin >> Settings page.
 * I don’t subscribe to the uninstall and delete all data process in WordPress because
   users will deactivate / delete and attempt to install the plugin again when they
   have issues with an update or the initial install didn’t bring all of the files
   in (for whatever reason). Because when deleting the plugin from WordPress will
   uninstall all data in some plugins, that’s very risky since most users don’t 
   keep backups of their data.
