Plugin file being called even though plugin is disabled

    I have had to disable QEM but a very strange error occurs, as follows:
    Googlebot visits a posting but with the replytocom parameter in the URL visited, for example, https://mysite.com/my_posting/?replytocom=12345 . From there, the following command is issued:
    GET /wp-content/plugins/quick-event-manager/quick-event-style.php?ver=c7a74eec44bec0804d2e94baf15eb29c HTTP/1.1

    This results in a whole series of errors in the error log, starting with:
    PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function qem_generate_css() in /home/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/quick-event-manager/quick-event-style.php:5
    The error itself is not unusual, given that QEM has been disabled. But why o why is any call being made to QEM at all, in the first place? There is certainly nothing on the page – no short codes or any html – that explains it.

    So here is my question. Even though QEM has been disabled, it is as if something that ought to have been removed has not been. Any idea what it could be?
