# Cannot delete plugin

 * I installed Hummingbird because I thought it was free. When I found it wasn’t,
   and that it caused conflicts with Jetpack, I tried deactivating and deleting.
   Dialogues are no longer responsive. It eventually disappears from my list of 
   plug-ins, but when I refresh the page, it re-appears. I understood that you can
   delete it from the server, but I checked my list of plug-ins on Bluehost and 
   it does not appear on the list. Please advise how to clear it out.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcannot-delete-plugin-17%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello there [@tlienhart85gmailcom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tlienhart85gmailcom/)
 * First of all, Hummingbird is a free plugin. It does include some premium modules
   as well, like automated scanning, uptime monitoring, enhanced minify compression
   with up to 2x the regular optimization, CDN hosted minification. In order to 
   activate these, you need a premium WPMUDEV subscription.
 * In general, as it’s a performance plugin, enabling similar features in multiple
   plugins like Hummingbird and Jetpack will most probably lead to conflicts indeed.
 * I’m not sure why it can’t be deleted though, as this seems like a server or caching
   issue and it’s not something that Hummingbird can do. I also tried to replicate
   in a couple of testing sites of mine and it was removed successfully.
 * Can you try to flush all caches that comes from plugins or server-side caching?
 * If that doesn’t make any difference, I’d rather contacting the hosting provider
   about it.
 * Warm regards,
    Dimitris

 * I am having the same issue. I was deleting my plugins on the site to do a test
   and now it won’t let me update any other plugin or theme. And the pages won’t
   clear cache to see updates no matter what I do. [http://www.bassanocheesecake.com](http://www.bassanocheesecake.com)

 * Hi [@djwriter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/djwriter/)
 * Sorry to hear you are having this issue.
 * Is the Hummingbird not showing on the plugin list causing some issues?
 * If so, [could you create a new topic](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/hummingbird-performance/#new-topic-0)
   and we can take a closer look at why this is happening on your Hummingbird?
 * Best Regards
    Patrick Freitas
