 * Hey There!
 * We are using WP Super Cache version 1.6.4 and in our WP-Dashboard under plugins/
   dropins we find “advanced-cache.php”. Is this file from the Plugin WP Super Cache
   and can be deleted?
 * thnx for helping

 * It’s used by the plugin, so if you have the plugin enabled it is required and
   cannot be deleted.

 * I have the same issue, this is showing in Drop In Plugin in my WP admin:
 * It says: advanced-cache.php advanced caching plugin: Inactive
    Requires define(‘
   WP_CACHE’, true); in wp-config.php file.
 * I do not have any caching plugins installed and have not used them for a few 
   years, yet this file shows up.
 * I am still bothered to see this file so can I delete it and where is it?
    thanks
   for any help.
