Hi All

I am not able to remove the plugin with any 6.x version. I have installed the custom plugin

`

> bin/logstash-plugin remove logstash-output-xxx

`

```auto
ERROR: Operation aborted, cannot remove plugin, message: The path `/root/logstash-core` does not exist.

```

This is not working even on windows as well

Does anyone has idea about it.

You need to cd into the logstash installation directory to remove plugins.
