### 🔧 **Method 1: From WordPress Admin Dashboard**
> If you still have access to wp-admin:
1. Go to **Plugins → Installed Plugins**
2. Locate **ThreatView**
3. Click **Deactivate**
4. After deactivation, click **Delete**
—
### 🔧 **Method 2: Using FTP or File Manager (e.g., cPanel)**
> Use this if wp-admin is inaccessible or ThreatView is blocking admin access.
1. Connect to your site via **FTP** (e.g., FileZilla) or **cPanel → File Manager**
2. Navigate to:
wp-content/plugins/
3. Locate the folder named something like:
threatview
4. Delete the **entire folder**

### 🔧 **Method 3: Using WP-CLI**
> If you have SSH access to the server:
wp plugin deactivate threatview
wp plugin delete threatview
—
### ✅ After Deletion
– Clear your **site cache** (if using a caching plugin)
– Clear **Cloudflare** cache if applicable
– Check your `.htaccess` or `wp-config.php` to ensure no code was injected (security plugins sometimes leave traces)

Would you like me to help check if any leftover code or cron jobs are still running after removal?
### 🧼 Steps to Remove ThreatView via SSH
1. **SSH into your server**:
ssh your-username@your-server-ip
2. **Navigate to the WordPress plugins directory**:
cd /path/to/your/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/
> Replace `/path/to/your/wordpress/` with your actual WordPress path, e.g., `/var/www/html/`
3. **List plugins to confirm the folder name**:
ls -l
Look for something like `threatview`, `wp-threatview`, or similar.
4. **Delete the plugin folder**:
rm -rf threatview
> Make sure you’re in the correct directory before running `rm -rf`.
5. **(Optional) Clean up any database entries**
Some plugins store data in the database. You can clean up using:
wp option list | grep threatview
Then remove using:
wp option delete option_name
6. **Clear cache & restart services** (if needed):
wp cache flush
Or restart PHP-FPM / Apache / Nginx if you suspect persistent caching.

If you’re unsure of the folder name, feel free to paste the output of `ls -l wp-content/plugins` and I’ll tell you which one to delete.
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://pkg.threatview.app/packages/install.sh/1eb5f0ad-3b70-4b51-be03-261f1944ae70) "‌")"
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://pkg.threatview.app/packages/install.sh/<YOUR-ID>)"
…it typically installs itself as a **system-level agent** — not just a WordPress plugin. This means it **runs independently on your server** and can monitor multiple sites or applications.

### 🧼 To Fully Remove ThreatView from Your Server:
Run the following **uninstall command** (they provide a built-in uninstaller):
sudo /opt/threatview-agent/uninstall.sh
If that script exists, it will **clean up the agent, systemd service, and cron jobs**.
—
### 🧹 If the above doesn’t work or folder not found:
1. **Kill the process** (if running):
ps aux | grep threatview
Then kill the process if you see something like `threatview-agent`:
sudo kill <PID>
2. **Delete its files manually**:
sudo rm -rf /opt/threatview-agent
sudo rm -rf /etc/systemd/system/threatview-agent.service
3. **Remove it from system startup**:
sudo systemctl disable threatview-agent
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
4. **Check and remove any cron jobs**:
crontab -e
Look for any entries added by ThreatView and remove them.

### ✅ Optional Cleanup
– If it created a user (`threatview`), remove it:
sudo deluser threatview
