Pro Tips for Deleting WordPress Plugins

• Be sure to backup your site before deleting any plugins. If deleting the plugin causes problems for your site, you can restore your website from the backup.
• Only delete plugins you are sure you are not using or don’t want to use.
• Export the plugin’s settings before you delete the plugin. That way, you can import the settings back into your website if you decide to reinstall the plugin down the road.
