# How to delete licences correctly?

Unlicensed plugins must be completely deleted and may not appear in the plugin manager of your shop!

To physically delete an extension completely, the extension must be deleted from the Extension-Manager. It is not enough that it is only deactivated/uninstall, as the extension can then be reactivated/reinstalled at any time. This is also important for remedying licence violations.

You can find out how to delete an extension in the following article:

{% content-ref url="/pages/mbhKSIkNuvrlUiRYoT4r" %}
[Remove extensions](/knowledge-base/shopware/configuration/extensions/remove-extensions.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Also make sure to cancel your licence in your Shopware account:
