 * I’ve been struggling with this for a while now; I hate deactivating a plugin,
   letting the page reload, finding the plugin I have just deactivated and deleting
   it.
 * Is there any way that we can streamline this and add the option to remove and
   delete? At least in the bulk options?

 * Um – there is a batch option already. Just navigate to Plugins and tick the relevant
   check-boxes beside each plugin you want to delete and then select “Delete” from
   the Bulk Actions dropdown – followed by Apply. Job done!

 * The issue is that it is still a two step process for me. Select all plugins, 
   deactivate then re-select then delete.
 * Unless my wp is different than yours, because the delete bulk function still 
   requires the plugin to be deactivated first.

 * Not at this time, for a couple reasons, but mostly to prevent you from accidentally
   shooting yourself in the foot 🙂
