# [Plugin: W3 Total Cache] Error Occurred While Creating CSS/JS Minify Cache…

 * This is the error I just received:
    Recently an error occurred while creating
   the CSS / JS minify cache: Path “…/wp-content/themes/delicious/blue.css” failed
   realpath(). (I removed some of the URL for privacy… let me know if this is necessary
   to post)
 * URL: [http://www.knapeassociates.com](http://www.knapeassociates.com)
 * I logged in this morning and saw this error on my dashboard — I also noticed 
   that a lot of the images on the website have suddenly disappeared. Could these
   be related?
 * Otherwise, what is causing this error and how should I fix it.
 * Thanks for any and all help.

 * Please ignore this error, it’s more often than not a false positive. You can 
   disable this error notification entirely.

 * For anyone else having this issue, I deactivated the plugin, then deleted it.
   BUT, when you delete it, it does not delete the ‘w3-total-cache-config.php’ file
   located at:
 * wp-content/w3-total-cache-config.php
 * FTP to this directory and delete this file, then re-install the plugin, it works,
   NO ERROR!
