Removing plugin unknown error

Toby_R — Sun, 17 Apr 2016 19:31:59 GMT

Hi XDK Team,

Everytime I try to remove any plugin from my project I got this error

Sometimes after two tries I manage to remove one and then it blocks (can't remove any further) and I have to restart Intel XDK.

Just to clarify plugin.xml is there.

Is this a common problem? Is my project corrupted? Should I remove some temp data? If so then please point me which so I won't break things.

Thanks

This is not a common problem, but it does happen. :( Usually it means your plugin directory is corrupted. Simplest fix is to:

make a list of your plugins
exit the XDK
delete the entire plugins directory inside your project
restart the XDK

The XDK should detect that they are missing and reinstall them. If it does not, then reinstall them manually from the list you made in step 1.

I have remade the whole
