 * You’ll need to access your server via [SFTP or FTP](https://wordpress.org/support/article/ftp-clients/),
   or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel (consult your hosting
   provider’s documentation for specifics on these), navigate to /wp-content/plugins/
   and delete the whole /simple-google-analytics/ directory there.
 * That will restore your site.
 * Next, I recommend reporting the problem at [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simple-google-analytics/](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simple-google-analytics/)
   so the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this.
