I found a solution, when I removed the extension there is a rplug.vim file with a call to the file that is delleted. When I commented the call the problem stopped. The file was in /home/pedro/.local/share/nvim/

:h :UpdateRemotePlugins Can you investigate if it's safe to run this to update rplugin.vim everytime PlugClean runs? I don't use remote plugins myself except for coc.nvim but coc.nvim does not depend on rplugin.vim.

[phaalonso]

Yep, running :UpdateRemotePlugins deleted the lines that the plugin let behind in the rplugin.vim file.

[janlazo]

Can you investigate if it's safe to run UpdateRemotePlugin after running PlugInstall or PlugUpdate? If it is safe, then vim-plug can run it by default without having user to run it explicitly.

[phaalonso]

Sorry for the wait, I tried and it worked. How i can make it to run in default?

Create a PR to update s:update_finish() or other internal Vimscript code to run :UpdateRemotePlugin after all plugins are installed/updated. Environment variable NVIM_RPLUGIN_MANIFEST must be set on neovim build so that tests do not break user config.

There is User autocmd https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug#on-demand-loading-of-plugins but it is intended for one plugin only unless you run vim-plug in synchronous mode.
