Uninstalling DocuMerge Lite

Deactivating vs. uninstalling

Deactivating the plugin stops it from running but keeps all database tables, templates, forms, and submissions intact. Re-activating restores full functionality.

Uninstalling (clicking Delete on the Plugins screen after deactivation) removes plugin files from disk. What happens to the data depends on a setting.

Controlling data deletion on uninstall

Go to DocuMerge → Settings → Advanced before you uninstall:

• Delete all plugin data on uninstall: unchecked (default) — plugin files are removed, but database tables, settings, and generated documents stay. Safe if you might reinstall.
• Delete all plugin data on uninstall: checked — removes everything: database tables, settings, upload directory, all submissions, all generated documents. Permanent.

Make the choice, save settings, then uninstall from the Plugins screen.

Manual cleanup

If you need to remove all DocuMerge data by hand (for example, after the plugin files are already gone):

1. Drop the database tables:

DROP TABLE wp_wprdm_templates;
DROP TABLE wp_wprdm_forms;
DROP TABLE wp_wprdm_submissions;

(Prefix may differ from wp_ depending on your install.)

1. Delete the upload directory:

rm -rf /wp-content/uploads/wprobo-documerge-lite/

1. Remove plugin options from the wp_options table:

DELETE FROM wp_options WHERE option_name LIKE 'wprobo_documerge_%';
