 * Hi,
 * I tried to delete the plugin from my website, following the steps seen here:
 * [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-removed-w3-total-cache-plug-in-but-it-still-produces-an-error-message/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-removed-w3-total-cache-plug-in-but-it-still-produces-an-error-message/)
 * But my website still shows this message:
 * **W3 Total Cache Error:** some files appear to be missing or out of place. Please
   re-install plugin or remove **/var/www/wordpress/wp-content/advanced-cache.php**.

 * Hello [@belenberrueta](https://wordpress.org/support/users/belenberrueta/)
 * It seems that the W3 Total Cache was isntalled to another domain. is the path
   correct in this case:
 * **/wordpress/wp-content/advanced-cache.php**
   This is not in the root of the website
   folder so pelase doublecheck this again
 * Thanks!
