I only rebuild a few times per year. I am currently running into an issue with a plugin I do not want.

When I include the plugin repository in my `app.yml` file I can bootstrap but run into blank screens with the following errors:

When I comment out the plugin repository in `app.yml` I fail to bootstrap.

So my question is, how can I fully remove [the plugin(s)](https://github.com/discourse-pro) and all of their remnants from my install as if it were never there in the first place?
