# Custom PHP settings – can’t delete plugin

 * I can’t un-install Custom PHP settings.
    I had installed the plugin, thinking
   it might be able to help with php settings, (where I was having trouble uploading
   another plugin), but it didn’t. Now I want to uninstall it, and all it does is
   says “Deleting … ” (in red), but ultimately, isn’t deleted.

 * Hello
 * This seems very strange. I have not seen this behavior before. I will try setup
   a local installation and see if I can replicate this error and get back to you
   as soon as possible. What version of Custom PHP Settings are you using?
 * Regards,
    Krister

 * Hi again
 * I have looked into this and found out that the reason was that the callback registered
   using `register_uninstall_hook()` must be static. I have made an update that 
   solves this issue and it will be included in the next release.
 * Right now you can just remove any custom settings from your `.htaccess` file 
   manually and then remove the plugin folder i.e `wp-content/plugins/custom-php-
   settings` although this will leave any settings in the database.

 * I have now added an updated which solves this issue. You should be able to simply
   update the plugin to version 1.2.6 and then you can delete it successfully.
