 * Thanks for the great plugin!
 * Since the new version I have lots of empty inactive text widgets pile up in the
   plugin on the edit pages. It’s a pain to delete them all and anyway: they keep
   coming back.
 * Any solution for this problem?

 * This removes the inactive widgets in the main widget area, but not on article
   pages, when page widgets are customized. I now have a list of 50 inactive text
   widgets in the page widgets are in each article and with each new article I add
   they get more.
 * Am I the only one experiencing this problem or is this a known issue?

 * I do experience the same issue with inactive widgets piling up.
    This makes the
   page really slow upon loading after a while.
 * Are there any workarounds, so inactive widgets never is shown?
 * Thanks for an epic plugin btw, works like a charm otherwise 🙂
 * Edit:
    Plugin version: 2.6 Wordpress: 4.0.1
