 When using an external object cache, if any plugin hooks `wp_cache_flush`
 on shutdown hook/register shutdown function, this transient will be
 removed and the plugin delete result is never shown to the user.

 The result should be stored in an option instead of a transient to fix
 this problem.

 You could argue that you shouldnt call cache flush on shutdown, however
 this is often the only way to fix compatibility issues where plugins do
 not remove their data from cache on uninstall and you are left with a
 broken site after uninstalling.
