    Does the W3 Total Cache not fully remove data correctly and leaves a website in an unstable state?

    Upon uninstalling W3 Total Cache I get the following notice about my website

    Autoloaded options could affect performance Performance Autoloaded options are configuration settings for plugins and themes that are automatically loaded with every page load in WordPress. Having too many autoloaded options can slow down your site. Your site has 1083 autoloaded options (size: 1 MB) in the options table, which could cause your site to be slow. You can review the options being autoloaded in your database and remove any options that are no longer needed by your site. More info about optimizing autoloaded options

    DELETE FROM wp_options WHERE option_name IN (‘_transient_dirsize_cache’, ‘_transient_timeout_dirsize_cache’);

    fixed the issue being reported…

    I also was notified there was a file called nginx.conf in my wordpress directory. This file was created by W3 Total Cache and left in place despite selecting remove plugin data during the uninstall process. There was no mention regarding it during the uninstall process that the admin must review certain files abandoned during the removal of the plugin using the uninstall process.

    The contents of the nginx.conf file created by W3 Total Cache is as follows:

    BEGIN W3TC Minify core
    rewrite ^/wp-content/cache/minify/ /index.php last;
    END W3TC Minify core
