 * After checking the plugin, I do not use it, because it’s too complicate to me.
   So, I’m trying to deactivate or delete. Steps I have done: go to TOOLS -> reset
   all settings -> OK. All sets are disabled. Click on plugins webiste to OFF/deactivate–
   no reaction. It is still active. Please help.

 * [@wpdebugmode](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpdebugmode/) it’s good that
   you’ve done the resetting of all the settings.
 * Now, are you saying that using the “Deactivate” link, doesn’t actually deactivate
   the plugin? This shouldn’t be a problem from the plugin as there’s nothing stoping
   the user’s decision to deactivate it (nothing from the plugin’s functionality).
   If you want to deactivate it, so be it.
 * You can delete it from the directory where the plugins are stored in your WordPress
   installation in case deactivating just doesn’t work (e.g. perhaps there’s a problem
   on the “Plugins” page and the links are broken): _/wp-content/plugins/wp-asset-
   clean-up/_
