 * I recently deactivated and deleted WF, but it is occasionally interfering with
   actions on my site. I don’t remember specific instances but periodically I will
   see a white WF-branded page load when I try to do things in the admin. However
   today, I tried to save some work in a Thrive plugin and got the following message:
   The action could not be completed because the plugin “WordFence” blocked the 
   request. Set your WordFence Firewall to “Learning Mode” and try again.”

 * Thanks [@wfgerald](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wfgerald/), but I don’t
   have WF installed at all. I deleted it a month or so ago.

 * Hey [@jamroller](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jamroller/),
 * How did you delete it? Can you please try reinstalling it, then use the Wordfence
   Assistant to remove it?

 * I am pretty sure I would have deleted it like one does with most plugins…Deactivate….
   Delete.
 * Will do so.
