Proposed Changes

Extend the plugins documentation to include general instructions for removing an installed plugin. This includes:

  • Removing the plugin and its configuration
  • Uninstalling the plugin packages (and optionally any dependencies which are no longer needed)
  • Dropping any associated tables from the database

Of course, each plugin may require additional work to fully remove it from a NetBox instance depending on its nature, but this should cover the majority of it.

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. NetBox is governed by a small group of core maintainers which means not all opened issues may receive direct feedback. Do not attempt to circumvent this process by "bumping" the issue; doing so will result in its immediate closure and you may be barred from participating in any future discussions.

I believe this was actually addressed under #6753, but I'll do some work to break out the installation & removal instructions into separate pages.
