Find, manage and uninstall plugins with uninstall_plugins.php

The CLI script uninstall_plugins.php sounds like it's only for uninstalling plugins, right? But no, it can do so much more. It can give you lists of all plugins on your site, all 3rd-party (non-core - contributed) plugins, and even plugins that have their code missing from disk. It also has the function to purge missing plugins so that the database schema can be restored to a pristine condition.
It's also very safe to use uninstall_plugins.php because it won't actually do anything unless used together with the "--run" switch.
** One thing I forgot to mention in the video, if you're trying to uninstall a plugin that is NOT missing, you will also need to delete the plugin files separately as uninstall_plugins.php doesn't do that part. (Oopsie!)

Hello, Shiriajin here, thanks a lot for making this video and for showing me how to remove all those plugins missing from the disk. Thanks also to ducky who reminded us of the run swtich.

Thank you for the great question! I'll pass your message on to the duck. 😂

Hello unrelated but wanted to know how I can expand my section name in the Moodle course index. My section name (tittle) cuts off because it's pretty long and wanted to know how I can make it so it does not and it reads it completely. For example, my section name in the course index reads like this, "Module 1: Reliability and...". When it should read like this, "Module 1: Reliability and Resiliency in Today's Mission Critical Environment ". Thank you :)
