Hey Dale,

Thanks for the comment! Yes, the biggest issue with WordPress is garbage from unused plugins. Most of my plugins include their own code to un cleanup when removing plugins, but most plugins don’t, and tracking what is left from each plugin is very, very complicated. Once upon a time, I made a plugin that was tracking the use of wp_options keys and other meta keys and linking them to plugins, to later determine what is used by which plugin. I plan to refine that in the future and maybe bring it back with this new plugin. The problem with all methods that need to determine what plugins are left behind, is that there is no 100% exact way to do that without breaking stuff.

Regards,
Milan

Very much looking forward to this plugin release as your plugins are really well developed, supported and maintained.
I really like the plugin called plugin garbage collector for cleaning up from plugins that are no longer used on the site but it doesn’t seem to be maintained so starting to make me nervous using it on WP as more changes occur.
Dale.
