Akismet Anti-Spam Deactivation Issue

Hi,
I don’t remeber installing Akismet Anti-Spam on my wordpress site but it is visible in my installed plugins. It doesn’t get deactivated and when I try to activate it, this is the error it shows:

Warning: require_once(/var/www/wp-content/plugins/akismet/class.akismet.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/wp-content/plugins/akismet/akismet.php on line 48

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘/var/www/wp-content/plugins/akismet/class.akismet.php’ (include_path=’.:/opt/remi/php73/root/usr/share/pear:/opt/remi/php73/root/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php’) in /var/www/wp-content/plugins/akismet/akismet.php on line 48

Please let me know if there is a way to delete the plugin from my site.
