How to Remove all Traces of a WordPress Plugin?

Always deactivate and then delete the plugin from the WP plugin menu as opposed to in the file system.

You can google around, there is many plugins that remove orphan plugin tables and other data https://onlinemediamasters.com/clean-wordpress-database/

Just be careful and backup, I have done this numerous of times.
