Removing Unwanted Plugins

Heads up: Back up before you delete anything!

1. Locate the name of the plugin you don’t need. Delete from the starting i up to the semicolon ;. For example, i:1;s:23:"elementor/elementor.php";
2. Update the sequence number, which is the digit after i,.
3. Update the total count, which is the digit after a: at the very beginning.
