Step 1: clear people's saved choice (optional)

Only people who deactivated the button have anything saved: one small setting. To clear it, release one version that calls Snaglist.destroy({ forget: true }) on page load before you remove Snaglist.

Step 2: remove Snaglist from your code

Follow Remove Snaglist. You know it worked when the search in its step 5 finds nothing and Send feedback has gone.

Step 3: remove the report server (if you set one up)

Delete the worker or server code from Send reports to your own server, and revoke its GitHub token in GitHub's settings for tokens.

Step 4: tidy up GitHub

Keep the issues: they are your history. You can leave the ux-report labels, or delete them in Issues, Labels.
