After disabling and uninstalling Webform, I noticed that it appears to still be active. Existing Webform content are all still there and accessible. Apparently this is intended behavior.

I can delete the content and content type, but I'm worried there might be other items or residue that is not as apparent. What all do I need to do in order to completely remove all Webform stuff from the site?

    Did you delete its folder from /sites/all/modules ? There is no problem you can delete its content type. if you are really worry about other contents just back up of your website

  • I'm just wondering if there are any other pieces Webform left behind.

  • Drupal is totally modular, a module is a component of a system. if you delete the folder nothing will be left

  • @Drupalist um, you uninstall and delete the folder and the content is literally still there. I'm getting more confused...

Like I said you need to uninstall it from /modules UI and then delete its folder from /site/all/modules.

If you take a look at webform module source code, in webform.install under function webform_uninstall() you will find this code:

foreach (node_type_get_names() as $type => $name) {
    variable_del('webform_node_' . $type);
}

as you can see it deletes every node which has webform type. for more details of what is going to be deleted after uninstalling the module, check the function webform_install() and function webform_uninstall() functions in the mentioned file.
