Hi guys,  
  
  
  
a long time ago, I installed a plugin “CRM/Tasks for Mautic”, I think from GitHub.  
  
  
  
Since I’m not really using it, I would like to remove it (to keep my Mautic instance clean, and its menu less full).  
  
  
  
Any idea on how to properly do it? Removing the folder from /plugins/ just disables the whole Mautic instance (“Site is down…”; producing errors).  
  
  
  
Best,

Maybe this other post for removing plugins might assist? [https://www.mautic.org/community/index.php/7896-removing-custom-plugins/0](https://www.mautic.org/community/index.php/7896-removing-custom-plugins/0)

To delete or remove a plugin is quite simple.  
SSH into the mautic terminal and locate section where plugins are located, e.g.

```auto
cd /var/www/html/plugins/

```

Then remove it recursively by calling the name of the plugin, say: CustomEmailSender

```auto
sudo rm -r CustomEmailSender

```

The clear cache

```auto
php /var/www/html/bin/console cache:clear --env=prod

```

NOTE: The above is when you are using Ubuntu distros
