This was just an example. We need to remove things we store in the options table (GatherPress settings). In addition to deleting options, should delete user meta, taxonomies, events, venues, etc. Some things like post meta will be deleted automatically with the posts. We might want to delete things in options table by looking for anything that prepends with gatherpress_. What do you think @carstingaxion?

Take a look at https://github.com/stephenharris/Event-Organiser/blob/65c4e3b0f40a601bebf7d5fc2203da02bbb4d7e9/includes/event-organiser-install.php#L404 as a nice example.

What I especially liked about the linked implementation was:
- additional check if plugin is network-enabled
- deletion of user_meta
In addition:
For the multiple options I suggest an array function like array_walk calling delete_option on the list of all options and transients as well.
