title: How to fully delete Subclipse plugin?
body: <p>I am having trouble getting rid of Subclipse from my Eclipse configuration.</p>
  
  <p>I made the decision to switch to Subversive due to the m2eclipse project dropping support for Subclipse.</p>
  
  <p>So I uninstalled Subclipse and then installed Subversive using the About Eclipse -> Installation Details -> Uninstall method. Now, when I go to any Team related options/tasks/preferences there are two SVN options available (one for Subversive and one for Subclipse) making life confusing.</p>
  
  <p>Having grepped the workspace <code>.metadata</code> folder for the string <code>subclipse</code> I can see that the configuration is still littered with references to Subclipse:</p>

  <p>All of the projects above are now disconnected from SVN. Obviously some of the references such as usagedata are not important, I am more worried about the XML files though. Is it safe to manually go through and delete all tags/properties related to Subclipse? I feel that approach may be unwise though.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know of a way to eliminate all traces of Subclipse without losing my workspace? Also any tips on what I might have done wrong? Should I have manually disconnected all of my SVN projects before making the switch to Subversive?</p>
