#### 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.

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**.
