#### Delete the Plugin
After deactivating the plugin:
1. Click **Delete** next to **YaySMTP**.
2. Confirm the deletion when prompted.
Once completed, the plugin will be removed from your website.
#### Data Removal on Uninstall
YaySMTP provides an option that allows users to **remove all plugin data when uninstalling** the plugin.
If this option is enabled before deleting the plugin:
* All **SMTP configurations**
* Saved **mailer settings**
* Plugin-related **data stored in the database**
will be **permanently deleted** during the uninstall process.
⚠️ **Important:**\
Once the plugin is deleted with this option enabled, **all settings will be unrecoverable**. If you plan to reinstall YaySMTP later, you will need to **configure the SMTP settings again from the beginning**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.yaycommerce.com/yaysmtp/master/how-to-uninstall-and-delete.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
