 * I uninstalled NextGen because I decided to go another route. Now when I go to
   my membership plugin to assign user rights, there are still items for NextGen.
   How do I completely uninstall the plugin?

 * [@ssergutaboselaw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ssergutaboselaw/) – You
   may need to remove the database tables NextGEN Gallery creates as well as remove
   any entries in the following WordPress core database tables: wp_options, wp_postmeta,
   and wp_usermeta … otherwise, using the Plugins functionality of WordPress to 
   delete the files should be fine.
 * I cannot speak to how your other plugin is maintaining its information and showing“
   items for NextGen”, you may need to speak with that plugin author for more assistance.
 * Thanks!

 * PS: I strongly recommend you have a full verified complete back up of your site
   before making any modifications to the database.

 * [@ssergutaboselaw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ssergutaboselaw/) You 
   may need to manually delete the three tables in the database of NextGEN, after
   backup.
 * Edit: I’m late…

 * Thank you. I removed all the NextGen database tables, but did not modify the 
   WP tables you mention, photocrafti. I’ll try that.
