Hi @darrenn123 ,
Thanks for reaching out!
I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble deleting WPForms Lite! The kind of error reported that there could be inconsistent file permissions on your site.
To troubleshoot this further, could you please review your directory permissions. Could you please verify if you also checked the server logs for any errors reported during the delete operation and whether this issue affects other plugins on your site?
Hope that helps!Hi
permissions for uninstall & wpforms are 644
no errors logged at all apart from Deletion failed: There has been a critical error on this website.Learn more about troubleshooting WordPress. at the top of the admin page when i try to delete.
I can delete the files from the server but want to clear the database as well, what tables need to go from the database?
thanks
Darren
Hi @darrenn123 ,
I’m sorry you’re still experiencing this issue while trying to delete WPForms Lite.To better understand the critical error message, could you please provide the full stack trace of the fatal error? This will help us identify what’s causing the issue.
For WPForms Lite, form settings are stored in the
wp_posts table, as you can see in this screenshot: https://a.supportally.com/i/9d7icC, while the following tables store payment-related data:wp_wpforms_paymentswp_wpforms_payment_metawp_wpforms_tasks_metaHope that helps. Let me know what you find, and I’d be happy to assist further!
Thanks!

I have the same issue with the message ‘Deletion failed: There has been a critical error on this website.Learn more about troubleshooting WordPress.’
I have no issues deleting other plugins.
@amjadali688 have you investigated this any further your end?
Hi @darrenn123 & @karlcw ,
We’ve tested the deletion process across multiple environments but haven’t been able to reproduce this issue on our end.To better understand what’s causing this error, could you please enable WordPress debugging and share a copy of the fatal error message?
You can do this by adding the following to your
wp-config.phpfile:define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );
@ini_set( 'log_errors', 1 );
@ini_set( 'display_errors', 0 );After that, please check the debug.log file in wp-content/debug.log and share any fatal errors you see there.
Also, if possible, could you provide your site info? You can find it under Tools > Site Health > Info.
This will help us identify the issue and guide you toward the best solution.
Looking forward to your update!
Hi @darrenn123 & @karlcw ,
We haven’t heard back from you in a few days, so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread for now. But if you’d like us to assist further, please feel welcome to continue the conversation.
Thanks!
