I’ll do some removal tests now. * Plugin Author [Ryan Bayne](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryan-bayne/) * (@ryan-bayne) * [7 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-trying-to-remove-plugin/#post-10883624) * I installed Loginizer when considering a possible conflict. * I managed to delete TwitchPress when clicking Delete without issues. * This is somehow related to script loading and I some flash related stuff in there. Is it possible you also have some sort of media plugin or a theme that uses flash? * > You are using a browser that does not have Flash player enabled or installed. > Please turn on your Flash player plugin or download the latest version from * That is within the dump which is not a proper error by any WP standard. It’s as if a plugin is interfering with the deletion process. It could be a conflict caused by TwitchPress but without knowing all the plugins and theme installed there isn’t much more testing I can do. * **Please delete the plugin using FTP like FileZilla or your hosting file management feature. I wish I had a better answer and thank you for trying my plugin.** * Thread Starter [superlisa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/superlisa/) * (@superlisa) * [7 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-trying-to-remove-plugin/#post-10886567) * I appreciate you working with me by looking into this, I understand the difficulty in trouble shooting things that are hard to reproduce. * I’m using Linux, so that’s why my browser does not support Flash. Having to install it only to remove a plugin from seems unusual at best. If you think it might help, I can see about using my partner’s Mac to try. I’ve never experienced a Flash issue with removing any other plugins, so that would be interesting! * I looked into removing the plugin through a filemanager, but couldn’t find a folder named TwitchPress under `wp-content/plugins`, which is unusual in itself. * I’ll try to do a manual reinstall of the plugin first and see if I can remove it normally after that. If that doesn’t work, I’ll compile a list of plugins and the theme I’m using, hoping you’ll be willing to keep helping me figure it out. * To be continued, thanks! 🙂 * Thread Starter [superlisa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/superlisa/) * (@superlisa) * [7 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-trying-to-remove-plugin/#post-10886594) * The re-install was quick and finally resulted in a solution. I learned that the folder is named differently also. * After manually reinstalling and then removing the entire `channel-solution-for- twitch` folder, it no longer appears in the plugins list. * Do note that after the manual reinstall I was still unable to use the `delete` option in the plugins list. The error I got may be different, so pasting it here for you to look at (just in case this ever comes up again): * `Deletion failed: ‹ SuperLisa — WordPress addLoadEvent = function( func){if(typeof jQuery!="undefined")jQuery(document).ready(func);else if(typeof wpOnload!='function'){wpOnload=func;}else{var oldonload=wpOnload;wpOnload=function(){ oldonload();func();}}}; var ajaxurl = '/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php', pagenow = ' admin-ajax', typenow = '', adminpage = 'admin-ajax-php', thousandsSeparator =',', decimalPoint = '.', isRtl = 0; img.wp-smiley, img.emoji { display: inline !important; border: none !important; box-shadow: none !important; height: 1em !important; width: 1em !important; margin: 0 .07em !important; vertical-align: -0.1em !important; background: none !important; padding: 0 !important; } var mejsL10n = {"language":"en"," strings":{"mejs.install-flash":"You are using a browser that does not have Flash player enabled or installed.

Also, consider using a default WP theme to rule out your theme. * The problem you are having is very strange. I’ve never seen a bug that results in a dump of content like this. However, someone else reported that if all the plugin removal options are set to true/yes they get an error when removing the plugin. * They didn’t confirm the error…yet! I’m waiting to see if it’s a similar issue and hopefully, the combined information will lead me to a fix! - This reply was modified 7 years, 6 months ago by [Ryan Bayne](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryan-bayne/).
