Is it possible to delete plugins from command line
-
I just installed a plugin and now I cannot open Notepad ++. I can open it if I use the -noPlugin option on the command line. But it does not show any plugins being installed. I am also unable to delete the plugin folder due to Company restrictions.
I would think that the option noPlugin would show the installed plugin and allow them to be deleted.
Any Ideas?

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.
So I would suggest: run cmd.exe as Administrator, then
del /S "c:\Program Files\Notepad++\Plugins\BadPluginNameHere" -
@PeterJones The Company that I work for, uses a program for authorizing the installation of programs. and I think that they just need to add the program to it and it will let me install and delete the program. But I do not have permission to delete folders in the program files folder.
I do not have permission to run programs as Admin.I might just have to uninstall Notepad++ and then reinstall it.

But I do not have permission to delete folders in the program files folder.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.
I do not have permission to run programs as Admin.
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.
I might just have to uninstall Notepad++ and then reinstall it.
Good luck.

@PeterJones I can run from the command line, just not as an admin
I have started Notepad++ with the noplugin option from the command line. -

I have started Notepad++ with the noplugin option from the command line.You rather missed my point.
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.

@PeterJones ok thanks, I uninstalled it using the companies software center and it is still not starting. I am going to have to get IT support to help delete the Notepad++ folder and then I can reinstall.
