Comment (by sc0ttkclark):

 Maybe there's a way to set the Description for this ticket to this to be
 more exact on what it's requesting:

 '''When deleting a deactivated plugin through WordPress, the user should
 be presented with an option to run the plugin's "uninstall" process. If
 accepted, the "uninstall" process will run. Otherwise, the delete process
 will skip the "uninstall" process. If no "uninstall.php" file is found or
 the register_uninstall_hook is not set, then the prompt will not be
 shown.'''

 '''This is to allow the ability for the user to retain plugin information
 for backup purposes.'''
