 * Go into the wp-content folder with ftp (or file manager if you use cpanel) and
   delete the db.php and advanced-cache.php files then reinstall W3TC.

 * I’ve followed the steps for deleting residual files, as seen here [http://www.shoutmeloud.com/how-to-delete-uninstall-w3-total-cache-wordpress-plugin.html](http://www.shoutmeloud.com/how-to-delete-uninstall-w3-total-cache-wordpress-plugin.html),
   but I’m still getting this error as well.

 * I completely deleted all of the w3tc files, then installed the plugin again. 
   That resolved the issue.
 *     ```
       /plugins$ rm -rf w3-total-cache
       /plugins$ rm w3tc-wp-loader.php
       /wp-content$ rm -rf w3tc-configs
       /wp-content$ cd w3tc-config
       /wp-content$ wp plugin install w3-total-cache
       ```

 * Oh thanks a lot guys for your valuable informations. My wordpress multisite [http://exploremyindia.in/](http://exploremyindia.in/)
   had crashed due to malfunctioning of W3 Total Cache plugin during installing 
   some updates. Finally I have resolved it.

 * Do we have to reinstall W3? Is it really worth it? Any opinions on that vs another
   Cache pluggin?
