 * When I click on uninstall, I get this cryptic message:
 * > This file must be copied into the same directory where WordPress is installed.
   > The file wp-load.php is in this directory
 * WP Super Cache is still in the plugins list.

 * There are detailed instructions in the readme.txt that will help you uninstall
   the plugin. You could also download the development version off the [Other Versions](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/download/)
   page which has a more streamlined uninstall process.
