    WP Migrate was an activated plugin in on our website. It was deleted from the linux terminal, not deactivated.

    This caused an error message to appear on the Administration>Plugins page.
    The plugin “plugin name” has been deactivated due to an error: Plugin file does not exist.


    The plugin was reinstalled in order to deactivate it and delete it. Now, the system believes it is a mu-plugin and will not allow deletion.

    How do we delete this plugin and it’s tables from our system?

    Hi there!

    WP Migrate Support Team here, Thanks for reaching out with your query we would be happy to assist!

    If you have any cache plugin, would you mind trying to clear any cache on your site using that plugin and then retry deleting the WP Migrate plugin? This is to check whether it’s a simple cache issue.

    If the issue persists, please create a full site backup first before proceeding with the following troubleshooting steps.

    Since the plugin has already been deactivated and it’s being detected as an MU plugin, would you mind checking if the folder “wp-migrate-db” was installed for some reason on this directory wp-content/mu-plugins

    If you found the folder there, please delete it manually and then check whether that resolves the issue.

    However, if you can’t find the folder there, please then check the wp-content/plugins directory and then check whether the folder wp-migrate-db is installed there. If found, please also delete then check whether that resolves the issue.

    To delete the remaining database contents of WP Migrate, please run this query on your database –

    SELECT * FROM wp_options WHERE option_name LIKE '%mdb%'

    Once the options shows up, please feel free to delete those.

    Please let us know how that goes.
