Is there a way to disable / uninstall plugin without launching Idea?

 

I installed one of myBatis community plugins and after restart I cannot get in. It freezes.

 

I see tip of the day, 2 processes running, but spinning gif is frozen. High CPU usage in Service Host.

 

I will file bug ounce I find out exactly which plugin it is.

and delete folder of your installed plugin

On Linux the plugins are locate here: .local/share/JetBrains/PyCharm2023.1/
replace the last part by you IDE and version.

The cleanes way to disable Plugins on a freezing IDE is:

  1. Start the IDE using the command-line argument disableNonBundledPlugins.
    In most cases the IDE will start without any issue.
  2. Open Settings -> Plugins
  3. Disable the plugin causing the freeze.
  4. Restart IDE in normal mode.

If some Project opened on startup is causing a freeze, there is also the argument dontReopenProjects.
