✅ Step 1: Log in to WordPress Admin
Go to:
bash
CopyEdit
yourdomain.com/wp-admin
Enter your admin username and password.
✅ Step 2: Go to Plugins Section
In the left-hand menu, click Plugins > Installed Plugins
✅ Step 3: Deactivate the Plugin
Find the plugin you want to delete
Click the “Deactivate” link under the plugin name
Once deactivated, you’ll see the “Delete” option appear
✅ Step 4: Click Delete
Click “Delete”
Confirm when WordPress asks if you're sure you want to remove the plugin
✅ Done! The plugin and its files are now removed from your site.
📝 Important Notes:
Settings/Data: Some plugins leave behind settings or database tables even after deletion. You may need a cleanup plugin (like WP-Optimize or Advanced DB Cleaner) if you want to fully remove all traces.
Can't Delete? If WordPress gives an error, try deleting the plugin manually via cPanel or FTP (ask if you need help with that too).
