Is it possible to use MainWP to scan all sites for leftovers and hopefully even remove them? Maybe with the Code Snippets extension?

Like:

  • Select all tables containing a certain string in the name and delete them after confirmation?
  • Select all cronjobs containing a certain string and delete them after confirmation?

Maybe it could even be an idea for a “Cleanup Extension”, where popular plugins can be uninstalled and users can update that list.

  1. Check if plugin is installed and give a warning if installed or even activated.
  2. Show the leftovers of the plugin and ask for confirmation before removal.

I’m not a developer, but it sounds like a good idea to cleanup sites, use less disk space, improve performance etc.

A cleanup extension for MainWP would be solid.
