wp-plugin-uninstalls — Clean uninstall.php Routines for Popular WordPress Plugins

wp-plugin-uninstalls is a reference library of thorough uninstall.php scripts that completely remove custom database tables, wp_options rows, cron hooks, and usermeta left behind by third-party WordPress plugins. Site administrators use it to audit and reclaim database storage after deactivating heavy plugins.
