 * Hi,
 * I am using the plugin across several sites and it is flagging the following modified
   files below. Not sure what the cause is. If I delete the plugin and re-install
   will the settings be preserved?
 * Medium Severity Problems:
 * * Modified plugin file: wp-content/plugins/wp-asset-clean-up/assets/script.min.
   js
 * * Modified plugin file: wp-content/plugins/wp-asset-clean-up/templates/meta-box-
   loaded-assets/_assets-hardcoded-list.php
 * * Modified plugin file: wp-content/plugins/wp-asset-clean-up/templates/meta-box-

 * [@irishetcher](https://wordpress.org/support/users/irishetcher/) this was because
   there were a few files that have been updated for the same tag. This rarely happens,
   and it’s usually done where there’s a bug that would prevent the plugin from 
   working smoothly, and as an exception (instead of releasing a new tag so quickly,
   as some people complained about it), the change is applied to the same tag. If
   you re-install the plugin, this should not be reported by Wordfence anymore.
 * PS: Don’t worry about uninstalling the plugin! No current changes will be lost.
   They will be preserved 😉

 * Hi Gabe,
 * Got it. So I can leave the plugin as is and it really doesn’t matter. Or if I
   am a neat freak I can reinstall the plugin. I presume that whenever the next 
   update for the plugin is released there is a chance this will clear up the warnings
   anyway.
 * Cheers
