Deleting Old Plugins in WordPress
Sometimes after installing a plugin for WordPress I decide I don't like it and after deactivating it don't want it to show up in my plugins list. What I usually do after this is delete the plugin's folder from wp-content/plugins. This usually works, but in some cases the folder just doesn't want to delete.
In order to get around this issue I rename the plugin's folder. It doesn't matter what the new name is, just something other than the original filename that isn't already the name of an existing folder. After this is done, the folder deletes and the Plugins list is once again free of inactive plugins.
