Description
Removing a validated form element with $('#myForm').remove() does not free the jQuery.cache of the validator instance. Using this chain, $('#myForm').remove().removeData(), does free the cache, however. Please see the attached code.

Not plugin related. Maybe remove() should also clean up data via removeData().

The stored data doesn't cause memory leaks per se. Only event handlers. That's the reason it's not cleaned up on remove().
Why should it be removed ? not that this means a big slow down for each removed node (and its descendants).

Considering that the validator instance is stored just in the cache and nowhere else, there isn't a problem the issue of memory leaks. Therefore the overhead of removing data while removing nodes and its descendants isn't worth it.
Please reopen the ticket if you have a scenario where the stale cache actually poses a problem.
