 * Is there a difference between deleting a deactivated plugin, and just deleting
   the folder on the server?
    Ie is there cleanup code that runs? I’m wondering 
   if I have stray code from some old plugin stuffing up things.

 * Deleting Plugin : You can remove code from your server & disabled your plugin
   activity.
 * Deactivated plugin : Code exits on server but not access on sitewide.
