! Standalone Configuration

Follow these instructions when using TiddlyWiki as a standalone HTML file:

# Create a backup of your current TiddlyWiki HTML file ([[just in case|The First Rule of Using TiddlyWiki]])
# Open the [[control panel|$:/ControlPanel]] and go to the ''Plugins'' tab
# Click on the plugin you want to delete to open it as a standalone tiddler
# Click the <<.icon $:/core/images/down-arrow>> ''more'' button and <<.icon $:/core/images/delete-button>> ''delete'' the tiddler
# Save your TiddlyWiki <<.icon $:/core/images/save-button>>
# If a yellow warning bar appears at the top of the window,  refresh the window so that TiddlyWiki completely removes the plugin <<.icon $:/core/images/refresh-button>>
#* <<.from-version "5.1.22">> It is no longer necessary to refresh TiddlyWiki when deleting plugins that support dynamic loading. See PluginMechanism for more details
# The plugin should no longer be active or available


! Client-Server Configuration

Follow these instructions when using TiddlyWiki under Node.js:

# Quit the server if it is running
# Edit the `tiddlywiki.info` file (it is in JSON format) and locate the `plugins` and `themes` section (see below)
# Remove the entries corresponding to the plugins you wish to remove. Take care to retain commas to separate items, but do not terminate the last item in a list with a comma
# Restart the server

```
