Comment (by afercia):

 Replying to [comment:28 grapplerulrich]:
 > @afercia - The data could be custom post types, settings, metadata or
 even custom tables. Anything that the plugin adds to the database during
 usage "should" be deleted on uninstall.
 @grapplerulrich sure, and unfortunately many, many, plugins don't remove
 their settings, tables, etc. But the point is: '''unintentional''' data
 loss.
