I know what you’re expecting: the final act in this four-part hunt. The grand conclusion. The cleanup crescendo. But time has gotten away from me, and I’d rather take a thoughtful pause than risk making a misstep in the database.

Truth is, I’m a little apprehensive. There’s still some delicate tinkering to be done, and when it comes to poking around the database, caution beats haste every time. I don’t want to rush through something that deserves a steady hand.
So, this isn’t the end of the quadrilogy. It’s just an intermission.
If you’ve followed me through the manual spelunking of plugin debris, the cautious optimism of cleanup tools, and the sobering reality check of their limitations, you know this story isn’t over. The fourth post will come—when time permits and my confidence in not wreaking havoc returns.
Until then, consider this a breather. Stretch your legs. Grab a coffee. And maybe, just maybe, check your own database for ghosts.
