 * I am having an issue with removing the plugin. So far have tired the following.
 * Disable in WordPress, then delete plugin. I received an error saying it could
   not be deleted. The plugin is gone from view but still shows as “active” , for
   instance 3 plugins active but 4 show in the number at the top
 * I tried remove via FTP with error saying saying it could not be removed.
 * Is there a way to remove from database? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

 * Hello,
 * You can remove the plugin via FTP, it is under the wp-content/plugins folder 
   or via PHPMyadmin under the wp-options table > look for active plugins.
 * Please let me know if you have any other questions.
 * Thanks,

 * Thanks. Strange that I can not remove from ftp file directory.
 * This issue is also preventing me from reinstalling plugin due to the fact it 
   says folder exists already?

 * Hello,
 * Make sure that the Coming Soon folder does not exist under the wp-content/plugins
   folder.
 * It will not let you install the plugin if the plugin folder already exists.
 * Please let me know if you have any other questions.
 * Thanks,
