Leftovers in WP_OPTIONS table | WordPress.org

I installed ShortPixel plugin to see it perform and then deactivated and deleted it. However, it has left close to 70 lines of data in the wp_options table. Are those rows safe to delete from the wp_options table using phpMyAdmin? Would it be possible to include a housekeeping function in the deactivate and delete routines of the plugin to prevent this clutter?

Thank you,

Cemal

Thank you, Alex. I reinstalled, activated, deactivated and saw the option. You may consider separating the survey from the settings option. At that point, that option becomes quite stealthy! Thanks for the pointer to how to fix it.

Thank you for your suggestion Cemal,
we’ve included an improved interface for the survey that would make that option more obvious.
We’ll include this change in the next plugin update.

Best regards,
Alex
