Remove advanced-cache File


I faced a little problem while trying to fresh install a blog on one of my domain.

A file named “advanced-cache.php” cannot be removed from the wp-content folder! I had removed everything from my domain folder and that stubborn file cannot be removed. The reason was due to the usage of wp-cache plugin previously. I looked to google to see if I can find any solutions to it, but none of the solutions worked for me.

After a few failed attempts like renaming the file, renaming the folders, all the while using FTP program, an idea came to my mind. I went to use bluehost “File Manager”, go to the wp-content folder, right click and chose delete and voila, the stubborn advanced-cache.php along with wp-content folder are removed! And I am a happy man again

I am not sure if this works for everyone else but it worked for me, here are some additional steps you may want to try:

  • CHMOD the folder/file to 777
  • Rename the folder/file to some other names 

Cheers
