 * Comet Cache continues to build cache after disabling plugin. I physically delete
   the /wp-content/cache/comet-cache folder off the server and when I load a page
   as not logged in user the cache folder and contents is rebuilding.
 * thanks

 * [@dblinks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dblinks/) Two things control all
   WordPress caching plugins: `define('WP_CACHE', TRUE);` in your `wp-config.php`
   file and the `wp-content/advanced-cache.php` file.
 * When you deactivate Comet Cache, both of those are removed (that is, unless Comet
   Cache is unable to remove them for some reason). I suggest double-checking that
   those two things have been removed.

 * Understood and thanks.
 * I didn’t dig deeper into why the files are not removed or check permissions, 
   and it’s not my intent to remove comet cache, just to disable it at times when
   doing a content intense edit to see changes in a non logged browser.
 * I found that disabling the plugin from the plugin screen works exactly as I want.
 * thanks!

 * ahh, ok for security our config files are set what we think is best practice 
   though you could disagree. Owner = readonly – no others rwe
 * I think that might be the reason the plugin does not remove the define(“WP_CACHE…
   statement.

 * [@dblinks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dblinks/) That would explain it.
   If Comet Cache can’t update your `wp-config.php` file then it won’t be able to
   enable/disable the cache.
