Can you please enable debugging mode, Please add following lines to wp-config.php just before where it says: /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */
define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true );
define( ‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, false );
define( ‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true );
Then try to delete the plugin.
A debug.log file should be created inside wp-content folder,which should contain error information in it, Please share the file with us.
Thanks for this! Hopefully this isn’t too complicated for me.
Where is the debug.log file located?
Hi Harshad,
I have added the :
define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true );
define( ‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, false );
define( ‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true );
Then tried to delete the plugin, but I can’t see the error you describe in inside wp-content folder.
Have you got an email address that I can send you this file so that you can take a look?
@matthomewood97 the debug.log file should get created in wp-content folder if you still get error while deleting the plugin.
Are you still getting errors while deleting the plugin?
If so copy the contents of debug.log file and paste it to https://pastebin.com and share the link with us.

Yes, still getting errors while deleting the plugin:
“Deletion failed: There has been a critical error on this website.Learn more about troubleshooting WordPress.”
The contents of debug.log file are here: https://pastebin.com/bx4D4fSW
Thanks for your help.
@matthomewood97 The log shows:
[22-Mar-2021 15:08:49 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class ‘WPO_Page_Cache’ not found in /home/matthome/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-optimize/includes/class-wp-optimize-options.php:286
The error itself is generated from WP-Optimize plugin.
Can you please try to delete the folder from cPanel file manager instead, delete wp-optimize folder from wp-content/plugins folder.
It will remove the plugin from your site.
@bornforphp thanks for your education with all this. The matter appears now to be resolved as it has disappeared from the WP backend of my website.
Grateful for your help.
Have a nice day.
Matt
