 == **The REQUEST:**

 **Please show recently removed plugins within /wp-admin/plugins.php**

 == **The STORY:**

 You may notice the title is unfamiliar to you because such a thing does
 NOT exist within wordpress.

 One of the reasons why people like me **do NOT remove inactive plugins**
 is because there is no way to remember the plugin once deleted.

 So i keep it.

 Now, even "Site Health Status" shows **"remove inactive plugins" for
 security reasons**.

 If i do that, i will have to **take notes manually** and links of that
 awesome file manager or image compressor plugin i found and want to keep.

 Wordpress does NOT show the plugins that were used in the past (deleted).

 Now, **if wordpress WOULD show**, i would not have to keep it inactive in
 order to "keep" it to remember, because i might not use the plugin all the
 time, such as a file manager or image compressor plugin, hence the reason
 for inactivation because they are seldomly used, BUT if i delete it, i
 would have to go on a search to find it again.


 == **The SOLUTION:**
 (Here is a way how wordpress would make it more delightful for users to
 delete inactive plugins)..
 Simply show the recently removed plugins with the **NAME** and **URL** to
 the plugin itself as a simple line within **/wp-admin/plugins.php**
 somewhere.

 This way i will gladly delete the plugin right away and not keep it
 inactive, the settings of the plugin is obviously an entire different
 story.
