<p dir="auto">I would think that the option noPlugin would show the installed plugin and allow them to be deleted.</p>
<p dir="auto">Any Ideas?</p>

<p dir="auto">You rather missed my point.</p>
<p dir="auto">But to make it clear: Notepad++ has no way to drive the Plugins Admin tool from the command line, so you cannot use command-line options to uninstall a specific plugin.</p>

<p dir="auto">I am doubtful, then, whether the Plugins Admin would be able to delete a plugin, because it requires the ability to delete a folder.  Then again, it allowed you to install the plugin, so maybe it would have.</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">I do not have permission to run programs as Admin.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">I am then curious why you bothered asking “from the command line” if you don’t have a command line interface that has permissions to delete a folder.</p>

<p dir="auto">I might just have to uninstall Notepad++ and then reinstall it.</p>

<p dir="auto">Good luck.</p>

<p dir="auto">If you are not able to delete from the Plugins Directory, how did you install?  Notepad++ doesn’t have any magic permissions beyond you.   It can ask for elevated permissions through the UAC if needed… but then, so can you – for example, run an elevated cmd.exe.</p>
<p dir="auto">So I would suggest: run cmd.exe as Administrator, then <code>del /S "c:\Program Files\Notepad++\Plugins\BadPluginNameHere"</code></p>
