I create a staging instance of my blog and experiment with a lot of plugins. However, even when uninstalled, a lot of these plugins leave their debris, leading to bloating the database and WP. Having an OCD, I'm desperate to find a way to clean off the unwanted old debris and mess of the plugins.
Any easy ways of doing that? I've tried a few cleanup plugins but they mainly focus on post draft copies, cache etc. none on the plugins.
How do you guys manage?
WP Optimize has that feature. It will show if a plugin has been removed and still has tables leftover.
Advanced database cleaner
I usually manually delete tables from the database, and remove leftovers from the wp-content and nested uploads folders.
Why is everyone so set on having a plugging for everything when the tools already exist!
Log in to phpmyadmin (or equivalent) and simply select the tables you no longer need and drop them from the database.
