It made a mess of things and left user roles behind and probably other things. This plugin seems inconsistent and untested. * Thread Starter [cwbullet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cwbullet/) * (@cwbullet) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-delete-plugin-6/#post-8158745) * [Wed Sep 07 06:10:31 2016] [error] [client 24.243.238.24] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /home/nsl2015admin/public_html/ [Wed Sep 07 06:05:02 2016][ error] [client 104.156.230.231] Directory index forbidden by Options directive:/ home/nsl2015admin/public_html/ [Wed Sep 07 06:01:31 2016] [error] [client 24.243.238.24] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /home/nsl2015admin/public_html/[ Wed Sep 07 05:56:23 2016] [error] [client 185.112.248.82] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /home/nsl2015admin/public_html/, referer: [http://www.rocketrysouthcarolina.com](http://www.rocketrysouthcarolina.com)[ Wed Sep 07 05:52:42 2016] [error] [client 24.243.238.24] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /home/nsl2015admin/public_html/ [Wed Sep 07 05:50:48 2016][ error] [client 119.42.115.74] Directory index forbidden by Options directive:/ home/nsl2015admin/public_html/, referer: [http://www.rocketrysouthcarolina.com](http://www.rocketrysouthcarolina.com)[ Wed Sep 07 05:49:29 2016] [error] [client 66.249.64.206] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /home/nsl2015admin/public_html/ [Wed Sep 07 05:43:16 2016][ error] [client 85.14.244.113] Directory index forbidden by Options directive:/ home/nsl2015admin/public_html/ [Wed Sep 07 05:43:07 2016] [error] [client 85.14.244.98] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /home/nsl2015admin/public_html/[ Wed Sep 07 05:22:30 2016] [error] [client 66.249.64.206] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /home/nsl2015admin/public_html/ [Wed Sep 07 05:15:08 2016][ error] [client 77.247.181.165] Directory index forbidden by Options directive:/ home/nsl2015admin/public_html/ [Wed Sep 07 04:55:55 2016] [error] [client 119.81.81.150] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /home/nsl2015admin/public_html/, referer: [http://www.rocketrysouthcarolina.com](http://www.rocketrysouthcarolina.com)[ Wed Sep 07 04:55:53 2016] [error] [client 198.44.0.158] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /home/nsl2015admin/public_html/, referer: [http://www.rocketrysouthcarolina.com](http://www.rocketrysouthcarolina.com)[ Wed Sep 07 04:43:08 2016] [error] [client 180.76.15.9] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /home/nsl2015admin/public_html/ [Wed Sep 07 04:41:57 2016][ error] [client 180.76.15.156] Directory index forbidden by Options directive:/ home/nsl2015admin/public_html/ [Wed Sep 07 04:40:55 2016] [error] [client 207.46.13.107] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /home/nsl2015admin/public_html/[ Wed Sep 07 04:36:10 2016] [error] [client 66.249.64.143] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /home/nsl2015admin/public_html/ [Wed Sep 07 04:27:36 2016][ error] [client 220.181.108.75] Directory index forbidden by Options directive:/ home/nsl2015admin/public_html/ [Wed Sep 07 04:23:16 2016] [error] [client 193.201.224.186] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /home/nsl2015admin/public_html/, referer: [http://www.rocketrysouthcarolina.com/index.php](http://www.rocketrysouthcarolina.com/index.php)[ Wed Sep 07 04:22:54 2016] [error] [client 193.201.224.186] script ‘/home/nsl2015admin/ public_html/index.php’ not found or unable to stat, referer: [http://www.rocketrysouthcarolina.com/index.php](http://www.rocketrysouthcarolina.com/index.php)[ Wed Sep 07 04:05:00 2016] [error] [client 69.30.198.186] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /home/nsl2015admin/public_html/ [Wed Sep 07 04:04:50 2016][ error] [client 69.30.198.186] Directory index forbidden by Options directive:/ home/nsl2015admin/public_html/ [Wed Sep 07 04:04:42 2016] [error] [client 69.30.198.186] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /home/nsl2015admin/public_html/ * [moemen12](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moemen12/) * (@moemen12) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-delete-plugin-6/#post-8162899) * please i have the some problem i want to delete this plugin permanently from my wordpress site but if i do that i see Deletion failed i know i can deleted it from public_html/ direct but the problem is still have some anspress roles is my site if example if i want to add a new user i see the roles i can add anspress banned or anspress moderator or anspress participant so can some one help me do deleted it permanently * [Dustin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dustinmatlock/) * (@dustinmatlock) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-delete-plugin-6/#post-8164127) * Hope you get that sorted. When you do, here’s a [decent alternative](https://wordpress.org/plugins/dw-question-answer/). * [massimod](https://wordpress.org/support/users/massimod/) * (@massimod) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-delete-plugin-6/#post-8243993) * Guys, just FTP and DELETE the plugin and that’s it! * Also [@dustin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dustin/) DW QA is not a decent alternative, it is actually an unsupported and full of security risks plugin. Been there, done that. * Also in github i see 3.0.6 that fixes (?) the uninstall problems within WP. - This reply was modified 9 years, 7 months ago by [massimod](https://wordpress.org/support/users/massimod/). * [Dustin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dustinmatlock/) * (@dustinmatlock) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-delete-plugin-6/#post-8244048) * I’d agree with that. DW Question and Answer isn’t the best option either, but deleting the plugin directory does not solve the issue. This plugin leaves behind multiple instances of itself. If you want the version mentioned, you will have to go to GitHub for now. I will say this plugin has a great design but lacks features. * [massimod](https://wordpress.org/support/users/massimod/) * (@massimod) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-delete-plugin-6/#post-8244100) * I’m pretty sure 3.0.6 will be available via WP as usual. * It is true that manually deleting the plugin leave the db with junk behind but there are plenty of plugins to clear that (many plugins leave their data in the db anyway). * Plugin Author [Rahul Aryan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nerdaryan/) * (@nerdaryan) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-delete-plugin-6/#post-8244056) * New version released. * Thread Starter [cwbullet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cwbullet/) * (@cwbullet) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-delete-plugin-6/#post-8246587) * Not resolved with 3.06. Still will not delete the plugin. I would Avoid this plugin until they fix the delete plugin problem. * [massimod](https://wordpress.org/support/users/massimod/) * (@massimod) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-delete-plugin-6/#post-8246630) * [@cwbullet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cwbullet/) * Works great, just unistalled twice. No errors, no debug.log errors. * Perfectly well. * Your problems are different. * Thread Starter [cwbullet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cwbullet/) * (@cwbullet) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-delete-plugin-6/#post-8246822) * Ok. Then what are they and how do I delete it. It is real nice to act as if it is resolved when it is not! - This reply was modified 9 years, 7 months ago by [cwbullet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cwbullet/). * [massimod](https://wordpress.org/support/users/massimod/) * (@massimod) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-delete-plugin-6/#post-8246835) * Via FTP. * Thread Starter [cwbullet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cwbullet/) * (@cwbullet) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-delete-plugin-6/#post-8246898) * Gone and never to be installed again. Warning: this is a server hog. * [massimod](https://wordpress.org/support/users/massimod/) * (@massimod) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-delete-plugin-6/#post-8247007) * [@cwbullet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cwbullet/) * No it is not a server hog, while it is somehow a demanding plugin. * You better find a REAL hosting company that knows WP and how to host it.
