 * Hi
 * Is there any way I can add a action to be executed after the user removes a widget
   from the sidebar? I didn’t find any action hooks for add_action() related to 
   this 🙁
 * The widget I’m working on stores temporary data into the database and I need 
   to attach a function that clears this data when the widget is removed.
