+# Plugin Reference Cleaner
+
+A WordPress plugin that adds a "Remove Reference" button to plugin deactivation error notices, allowing users to clean up invalid plugin entries in the database.
+
+## Description
+
+When WordPress detects a plugin file that no longer exists but is still referenced in the database as active, it displays an error notice. This plugin enhances those notices with a button that allows you to safely remove the invalid reference with a single click.
+
+**Note:** This plugin only needs to be installed and active if you have an error notification showing like this:
+"The plugin folder-name/file-name.php has been deactivated due to an error: Plugin file does not exist."
+
+## Features
