 * Can I safely uninstall WP-Optimize without changing any of my website content
   or losing any configuration data?

 * Hi Mike,
 * Yes you can safely uninstall WP-Optimize. Nothing should change on your site.
   
   If you have page caching enabled in WP-Optimize, you may want to disable it first.

 * I would not know how to uninstall using cpanel or FTP. However, from your website’s
   WordPress dashboard, go to the Installed Plugins page, find WP-Optimize and disable
   it. I believe it can be uninstalled only after it is first disabled.
 * That’s the only way I know how.

 * Hello,
    I have disabled it. I am getting this message “Could not fully remove
   the plugin wp-optimize/wp-optimize.php.” Bimal

 * I’m sorry; I cannot help. I will guess, though, that Marc will respond when he
   can (as he did to my question).

 * [@bimaljaiswal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bimaljaiswal/) This sounds
   like the process was interrupted somehow, and some files left on the server.
 * To remove it completely, you’ll have to use an FTP client or (an other solution
   to access the files on your server), and delete the `wp-optimize` folder. It 
   is in `wp-content/plugins`.
 * Nb: In the future, it’s best to open your own support topic, to avoid the other
   users on the topic to receive lots of notifications.
 * Best wishes,
 * Marc.
