    Hi-

    I'm trying to remove a plugin from WP. I deactivated it, but could still see the code it added to my header file. So I removed it from the server, but can still see the code in the header file. WTF?! How do I get rid of this thing?

    try re-install and un-installing again, maybe it just didnt un-install properly.

    if it installed/modified any files, it could be that them files are not being un-written.

    may have also installed some mysql code that is not being removed.

    If you have removed then did u try flushing the cookies and Temp internet files before re-opening it in your browser ?

    Try that may be its already removed but ur browser is still showing u images from temp files.

    you get a backup copy of current header file..then replace current header file with a fresh header file (present in theme u downloaded) and then make some changes like meta..or anything other in this new header file....

    Do you see this code when you're opening your header file under the Presentation menu? If it's the case, just clean it up.
    Otherwise, try entering your MySQL database through phpMyadmin and dropping all the tables associated with this plugin.

    Delete the plugin files from the server.

    Another one would be, maybe a code has been added to your header file, check it onwards and do update us. ;)

    First of all, thanks so much to everyone for replying. This has been a major headache.

    I suspect that it has indeed installed some database code that is not being removed. I know nothing of MySQL, and have no idea how to drop all the tables associated with this plugin, but I have a friend that may help.

    Regarding other suggestions...

    I did try reinstalling / uninstalling the plugin again to no avail. Interestingly enough, the plugin options were already filled in when I reinstalled!

    I cleared my cache and I have deleted the plugin files from the server.

    It's in my header when I view source from the browser, but is not in the header file you can edit from the WP admin Presentation tab, so I assume that the database is putting it there.

    Ask your friend to browse the wp_options table as well, it might be hiding in there :)
