Error deleting cordova plugin

Question

I am trying just to delete a plugin from my cordova project. It should be simple but I don't know why its having an error.

cordova plugin list

shows me this:

cordova-plugin-customurlscheme 4.0.0 "Custom URL scheme"

cordova-plugin-dialogs 1.1.1 "Notification"

cordova-plugin-file 3.0.1-dev "File"

cordova-plugin-file-transfer 1.2.2-dev "File Transfer"

and when I run

cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-customurlscheme

it shows me :

SyntaxError: Unexpected token /

What this could be ?

I have had strange issues with plugins before. You could try to remove all the plugins by deleting the plugin directory. Then just add them back in. — Filipe Teixeira, Oct 06 '15 at 15:38

This can happen when the plugin itself was not coded properly. Try delete the following:

\plugins\cordova-plugin-customurlscheme (or whatever the folder name)

reference to it in \plugins\fetch.json and \plugins\android.json (or ios)

\www\plugins\cordova-plugin-customurlscheme

(the reference in this file) \www\plugins\cordova_plugins.js

If that doesn't work. Just recreate the whole app and add the other plugins back in, and then add the source code back in.
