    Hi,

    I need to go back to restart my image and gallery ID numbers for my Nexgen Galleries but even after uninstalling the plugin and deleting the files off of my server, the numbers are not restarting from the beginning.

    What other options are there for me to clear out the previous gallery/image ID numbers?

    Thanks!

    @topherandrae – If you want to completely remove and start over with NextGEN Gallery it can be a little involved. These steps should help you look at all of the various items NextGEN Gallery touches on that you may have missed:

    This process will generally work but we recommend you have a complete fully verified back-up of your site just in case you run into any problems:

    Use FTP to remove NextGEN Gallery related folders.
    Then use something like http://wordpress.org/plugins/wpdbspringclean/ to delete all the ngg tables.
    Then use something like http://wordpress.org/plugins/database-peek/ to search through the remaining tables for NGG references.
    Then use something like http://wordpress.org/plugins/edit-any-table/ to delete all of these database entries.

    Tables typically involved: wp_ngg_*, wp_options, wp_postmeta, and wp_usermeta

    Thanks!

    – Cais.
