Hello MyBB Community,

I have installed plugins in the past, and to be honest, I don't know which plugins I can remove and what files to remove. is there a way to check for all custom files and then remove them if I don't use them?

Its simple. Plugins come as a zip file and with the proper directory structure in it.
If you want to uninstall a plugin, first disable / uninstall the plugin completely from your ACP.
Next open the zip source of the plugin. If you don't have download it again.
Open your website ftp client.
Browse the file structures in the plugin source zip, locate the same file in your website directory structure in ftp client and delete one by one.

This is a boring job, but perfect to uninstall a plugin.
Thats how I do it, Not that hard.
