Hi, Thank you for the resource, but I already tried it - please see the second block of ouput I quoted. Did I do something wrong there? The command was sudo bin/plugin install ~/delete-by-query-2.4.6.zip --verbose. The file path is correct. Thank you! ---

Yes it's incorrect. That's why I linked to the doc. Missing file:// ---

I see. Thank you, that bit looked like part of the placeholder. ---
