Forum can old disabled plugins be a security risk?
 

Hi, just curious of the implications of old disabled plugins or products being a security risk. If the plugin has old files on the server can these files be used to compromise security? I have several old plugins that are disabled. I am hesitant to "uninstall" some products as this once crashed my database. So I am thinking the best move it to leave the products and plugins disabled but remove any files related to them in the filesystem. Is this advisable or a waste of time? Thanks
