No need to uninstall everything and start over. ๐
If you want to clean things up though, first make a backup https://developer.projectdmc.org/advanced-administration/security/backup/ (itโs a good idea to keep regular backups anyway) and then run https://projectdmc.org/plugins/wp-sweep/
Thanks, James!! I just have one followup question. When I do the backup the way you recommend, does it store in on the same server or am I downloading and holding it on my PC??
There are a few methods and plugins mentioned in that article. Some download to your computer, some store on the server, and some store on a third-party cloud.
The one detailed in specific steps there will download to your computer, which would be good for this time and is just fine every time for a lot of folks, but you might want to branch out to a plugin-powered, automated, and cloud-hosted solution as your site grows.
