How Do I delete plugin history

I have a plugin, when I delete it and re-install it, it remembers the same settings, how can I completely delete its history so that it is just like installing it for the first time?

    I'm pretty sure you will need to manually go into your phpmyadmin and delete all the data from the databases.

    Most of the plugins which use lot of data stored in DB, will give you option to remove data also during uninstall. If this plugin does not have such option, you may need to contact the developer and get his input , as there could be lot of different queries executed by any plugin. So to really get that removed you need custom query from them to get all deleted with simple Query in SQL tab in phpMyAdmin.

    A good plugin would remove all data from the database, now login to phpmyadmin and drop any custom table for that plugin, and search in the wp_options table for records.

    Where is the phpmyadmin located?

    Not in WP. Go to Cpanel in your hosting panel, then -> Databases -> phpmyadmin. Or search for phpmyadmin. Watch out to not delete the wrong database tables. Hope this helps you.
