Hi dev, that’s weird. But if this cannot be deleted – it means WordPress still see this as active plugin on dB even though it appears already deactivated. WordPress stores active plugins information in WP options db table as active_plugins option.
Searching for this error on the Internet – seems not be migration related but caching related. WordPress might be getting cached value on active_plugins where that plugin is still active (despite already deactivated). This prevent the plugin to be deleted since it’s still active.
Check if your site uses caching. Purge cache whether its using a caching plugin or if caching is provided built-in by host – purge or clear it also.
Or you can temporarily deactivate all caching solutions first (including the ones provided by hosts if possible) before deleting plugin. This will ensure that the active_plugins info used by WordPress is updated and not cached.
