CSS files remain after deleted

This is due to caching. You say you flushed your cache, but did you flush your CDN or anything?

You didn’t flush something. ?? But whatever it is, it isn’t OMGF, because OMGF isn’t there anymore.

I’ve had this exact same problem and it definitely doesn’t seem to be a cache issue as I’ve cleared all caches, removed the plugin, waited weeks, and it’s still there.

As you can see from this GT Metrix report – https://gtmetrix.com/reports/joelstraveltips.com/2K2UsFcn

Please can you advise how to remove these?

Thanks

Hi Daan.

I also removed the plugin for some testing, but after I installed the Better Search Replace plugin, this still detects the entries in the database. Initially, GTMetrix still flagged them, but I was able to get them out of that report. But could you maybe improve things so also db entries are removed after removing the plugin?

Hi @joelmarrinan,

Once a plugin is deactivated the stylesheets or scripts it enqueues are not enqueued anymore, so they disappear.

– Perhaps you are using a different plugin to add a preload header for the stylesheet?
– Sometimes caching plugins fail to empty the entire cache folder, due to timeouts or permission issues. You could try manually emptying the plugin’s cache folder.

I debugged my site and it seems that it was the Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg that was causing the problem. Or at least a conflict that stopped when I deactivated that plugin.

Wow. That’s totally unexpected and thanks for sharing! This’ll surely help others!
