    Trying to delete this plugin so I can reinstall to troubleshoot an unrelated issue. Received the following error and cannot uninstall. EWWW version 4.7.2, WP 5.1.1, PHP 7.3.4, Database 10.1.38-MariaDB-cll-lve.

    Any ideas are much appreciated, thanks.

    Hmmm, seems like the db table names aren’t being registered properly before the cleanup runs on your site. Strange, because I haven’t seen that sort of issue before.
    You can just delete it via your file manager or FTP/SFTP, and that will work just fine.

    Looks like it deleted the files and emptied the DB table contents but couldn’t drop the table itself. Just had to go in and manually drop the table. Thanks!

    Oh yeah, it doesn’t drop the table, because it won’t be re-created if you’re just re-installing later without manual intervention. The plugin merely empties the queue tables (if it can).
    If you reinstall, you’ll want to delete the ewww_image_optimizer_version from the wp_options table (or just set it to something small like 10).
