**Your software** My Mautic version is: 2. 15.3 I have installed a plugin, but am experiencing some issues with it so I want to remove it again. However, while the documentation tells a lot about how to add or update a plugin, it doesn’t tell how to actually remove one. I have tried just deleting the plugin’s folder in the mautic/plugins and then purge the cache, but that just seemed to crash Mautic and I had to add the folder back for Mautic to work again, so I’m guessing there must be some other way? ---

If they have folder in vendor dir, try to move to /tmp , Usually it works for third party plugins. Can you share your plugin name? and error logs. ---

It turned out after deleting the plugin’s folder and then clearing the cache, it apparently just needed some time, because after 15 minutes everything started working again. Weird.
