 * You want to delete the plugin’s part of the database?
 * As a user, if the plugin doesn’t do it for you, you’d need to get into the database
   via PhpMyAdmin or similar and delete the plugin’s tables, $wpdb->options rows,
   etc. It could be complicated, depending on the plugin. As a plugin author, you
   can hook into the [deactivation hook](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_deactivation_hook).
   I’m not sure if there is anything you can run on deletion rather than deactivation.

 * I believe I answered that, or I very much misunderstand the question.

 * I did answer that. You can run functions on plugin deactivation but I am not 
   aware of any that you can run on plugin deletion, though if and only if someone
   deletes the plugin via the WordPress interface (rather than via ftp) there might
   be something you can do. On about line 841 or wp-admin/includes/plugin.php there
   is a action hook that might do it but I’m not sure. I only just found it three
   minutes ago.
