# Shortcode still exists

 * Hello all,
 * So I was using meta slider and decided to use another. I removed the shortcode
   from the header widget and deleted the plugin but then it showed the original
   shortcode I was using (even though it isn’t visible anywhere in the widget). 
   If I reinstall the plugin and activate it, it goes away. If I de-activate the
   plugin in appears again. I tried switching themes and going back to the one I’m
   currently building and the same results occur.
 * Now with it activated it doesn’t show but I did find in the code using Google’s
   editor the following:
 * <div id=”slider”>
    <!– meta slider 388 not found –> </div>
 * Anyone have an idea as to why this is happening and how I can fix it? Thanks!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fshortcode-still-exists%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * Could the shortcode have been added to the page by any other means (i.e. via 
   the theme template)?
