    When trouble shooting wordpress crashes, suspected to be caused by a plugin, is it enough to deactivate each plugin? Or should I deactivate and delete the plugin as well?

    A good practice is to remove plugins that you are not using.

    I am still using them.

    Do I need to remove them when testing which one causes problems.

    Or can I just deactivate them.

    If I just deactivate, then easier to remember which ones were instaled.

    But only if a deactivated plugin will not cause any problems.

    So, will deactivated not interfere with anything else, the same os un-install ?
