What Data Is Deleted on Uninstall?

GoshLinks only deletes plugin data on uninstall if the matching cleanup options are enabled before the plugin is deleted.

Delete Links on Uninstall

If Delete all links and click log data when plugin is deleted is enabled, GoshLinks drops the plugin tables used for links and click data.

This removes:

• Short links.
• Target URLs.
• Link titles and notes.
• Advanced link fields.
• Click totals and detailed click rows.

Delete Settings on Uninstall

If Delete all GoshLinks settings when plugin is deleted is enabled, GoshLinks deletes saved plugin settings such as:

• Base Path.
• Default Redirect Type.
• Default Deactivated Redirect Page.
• Default Non Existent / Deleted Link Redirect Page.
• Tracking settings.
• Uninstall cleanup settings.

What Is Not Deleted If Cleanup Is Off?

If the cleanup options are not enabled, deleting the plugin does not intentionally remove the link tables or saved settings.

Recommended Before Deleting Data

Run a GoshLinks export before uninstalling if you might need to restore or migrate your links later.

Important

Deleted database tables cannot be restored from GoshLinks itself. You would need a previous backup or export.
