Correct way to remove plugin from Eclipse

Eclipse Photon user here, found it under the toolbar's Windows > Preferences > Install/Update > "Uninstall or update" link > Click stuff and hit the "Uninstall" button.

Using the menus, open

  • Help | About Eclipse IDE | Installation details (in newer versions),
  • Help | Installation Details (in older versions), or
  • Help | About Eclipse | Installation details (in even older versions).

In the "Installed software" tab click on the software that you wish to uninstall, then click the "Uninstall..." button below.

If you installed the plug-in by dropping into the dropins folder, then just delete it from the dropins folder and restart Eclipse.

See the answer of @Cogentleman for more recent versions of Eclipse.


I would like to propose my solution,that worked for me.

It's reverting Eclipse and its plugins versions, to the version just before the plugin was installed.
