 * Hello [@abdulhanan18](https://wordpress.org/support/users/abdulhanan18/),
 * To completely remove W3 Total Cache please follow the instructions below:
 * 1. Purge Cache
    2. Deactivate and Delete Plugin 3. Check .htaccess File (make
   backup) W3TC will create many directives in .htaccess file to control the caching
   behavior. Each section will start and end with comments like “#BEGIN W3TC Page
   Cache core” and “#END W3TC Page Cache core”. Ensure that no residual entries 
   are leftover in your .htaccess file after deleting the plugin. 4. Delete wp-content
   files and folders – cache folder – w3tc-config folder – object-cache.php File(
   if exists) – advanced-cache.php (if exists) – dbcache.php (if exists) – upgrade
   folder 5. Delete Cached Files from CDN (if using CDN) Besides deleting all the
   relevant files, if you use CDN then ensure to purge the cached content from your
   CDN. This is necessary when you enabled minify option in W3TC settings. You should
   delete the minified and combined scripts and CSS files from your CDN server to
   avoid the site breaking on the browser.
