Can deleting the plugin’s crash my site? * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/deactivated-plugins-software-updates/#post-9403208) * No, if they’re deactivated, they aren’t in use at all. It’s safe to delete them.
