WP-Cycle plugin options disappeared

[And_or]

Today I a ran into a problem with the wp-cycle plugin by Nathan Rice. After updating the website to WordPress 3.5 everything was still working. Since the images for the plugin needed to be changed I went and deleted the existing images and started uploading new images. That worked well for the first images, but then 1 of the images was to small for the set width option and it refused to update.

After messing about a bit with the settings I found myself with a settings pages where the options did not show anymore. I deleted the plugin and uploaded it again. That did not help... by then I could not see the options nor the images in the backend. Somehow there where still 2 images left that I could not delete anymore.

In the WordPress plugins support I found someone who has the same problem That person reported the problem 2 weeks ago so there is a good chance it is unrelated to the coinciding update to WP 3.5
Unfortunately most post in the WP plugin support forum remain unanswered...

A few questions arise:

Are more people having problems with WP-Cycle ?
How can I remove the remains of WP-Cycle from the database? (completely uninstall it)

I put another slideshow in the website for now, so it is not urgent. But since I also use the WP-Cycle plugin on other websites I want to know if I should be careful running updates/changes on  sites that have the plugin installed

I haven't had any issues. You can use a plugin like DB-Optimize to remove code injected by unused plugins.

Thanks for the reply SoZo... it's been so long that I already forgot which site I was working on at that time 🙂
I have used DB-Optimize, but never for this purpose.. I will check it out.
