 * The autoptimize plugin is not active on our website since a long time now.
 * The plugin is up to date but when I try to delete I have an error : “Échec de
   la suppression : Il y a eu une erreur critique sur ce site.En apprendre plus 
   sur le débogage de WordPress.” (“Failed deletion: There has been a critical error
   on this site.Learn more about WordPress debugging.”).
 * What can be do to delete the plugin for good ? Thanks

 * Could be a plugin (or code snippet) that is hard-wired into Autoptimize somehow.
   Can you check the PHP errorlog for relevant errors?
