I didn’t back up the database before I began this process. At this point, you can probably see where this story is headed. Later in the week, while I was attempting to delete four spam items, I was left completely horrified when the results of the operation reported that the remaining 10% — every single plugin remaining in the database — had been purged. All that remained was a year-old backup

If I have a critical project, can't beat backintime, and a separate drive. On top of daily backups.
If anyone needs to get hold of any plugins, you can use wayback.
