[Defender Pro] Error deleting defender pro plugin

I get an unknown error in WordPress when trying to delete Defender Pro plugin. Tried deleting it both direct in WordPress and from wpmydev site.

Error message:
“We got an unexpected response from your website: “500 Internal Server Error””

    Hello Bo

    The “500 Internal Server Error” is a pretty generic message and we should enable some debuggers to get more information about the problem there.
    Could you please access your server via (S)FTP, edit the wp-config.php file, find a line like define('WP_DEBUG', false);and replace it with the following (if the above line doesn’t exist, simply insert next snippet just above the /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */ comment)

    // Enable WP_DEBUG mode
define('WP_DEBUG', true);
// Enable Debug logging to the /wp-content/debug.log file
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);
@ini_set( 'log_errors', 1 );
// Disable display of errors and warnings
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);
@ini_set('display_errors', 0);

    Then go ahead and try to replicate the error by trying to delete Defender once more, until you see the error message. By doing so, a /wp-content/debug.log file should be created. Simply download it, rename it to debug.txt and attach it here in your next reply. If the size of the text file exceeds the 5MB limit of our blog, please use a service like Dropbox and post the shareable link instead.
