# [Plugin: WP-Options-Manager] Cannot deactivate this plugin

 * Every time I try to deactivate this plugin, it bounces me to the home page of
   the blog.
 * I am stil logged in as admin, but cannot do anything to deactivate this.
 * I have not used the plugin, so I have not done anything with it that could cause
   this problem.
 * I have had the plugin there for some months, so restoring a backup is not an 
   option now.
 * Please tell me how to delete it.
    Thanks Michael

 * get to your plugin root directory-rename the plugin folder…I usually put a 1(
   one) on the end….then I usually refresh the admin…and delete….then I delete the
   plugin folder….

 * Me again: I hope I have solved it by deleting the directory for the plugin in
   File manager. Drastic, but hopefully effective.

 * Solved:
    the problem did not appear to be your plugin, but this:
 * WordPress Firewall has detected and blocked a potential attack
 * Apparently uninstalling your plugin upset the WordPress Firewall pluing and it
   stoped the uninstall, thinking:
    “This may be a “WordPress-Specific SQL Injection
   Attack.” Thanks The problem is now resolved Michael

 * Thanks for your quick answer above, I was doing what you suggested and reporting
   back as you were typing it and didn’t see it till after I had tried it.
    Much
   appreciated
