 There is a clear difference between deactivate and uninstall. Deactivating
 a plugin should not remove all of its settings from the database but
 currently there is no central way for plugins to uninstall, and therefore
 no reminder to plugin developers to do so.

 The plugins.php file can accomodate a separate uninstaller if one is
 included with the plugin.

 I have attached a plugin that shows how it can be achieved.
