 * On my website, I am not able to delete or activate the WPForms Lite plugin. When
   I was troubleshooting my website, I deactivated all the plugins. After that I
   tried to activate the WPForms Lite plugin, nothing happened. Then I clicked on
   delete. Status changed to deleting but remained the same for more than 15 minutes.
   After refreshing the plugins screen, it is back to “delete” as before.
 * Actually, now I want to uninstall the WPForms Lite in a clean way. Then install
   again and then activate.
 * Kindly guide how to do it.

 * Hello [@kennybiz64](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kennybiz64/),
 * Thanks for reaching out!
 * In case you’re unable to delete the plugin from the WordPress admin area, then
   you have the option of deleting the plugins from FTP.
 * For more details, you may take a look at the tutorial [here](https://seo-gold.com/how-to-manually-delete-a-wordpress-plugin-using-ftp/).
 * Thanks!

 * Thank you for the guidance for the removal of the plugin. Also, please guide 
   how to remove the database entries (tables & rows) related to the plugin.
