Error: Unknown Cook Failure. It's referencing a deleted plugin?

Hi, I’m trying to cook+package a build of my project but it’s erroring out and failing, with the error" Error: Unknown Cook Failure". It seems to be trying to load a plugin that I once tried, but decided to disable and delete. I’ve deleted all files relating to it from the project, and I can’t find any references pointing to it. I’ve tried deleting my Saved Config and Intermediate folder, but no luck. I see there’s some warnings too about other files but I’m not sure why it’s not finding them properly? It’s saying for example it can’t find ‘/Game/SC_SoundFX’. But it’s actually in ‘/Game/Content/SoundStructuresAndTables/SC_SoundFX’ So i’m not really sure why it’s trying to fetch it from the root folder instead?

What could I do to be able to get my project to build successfully? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you! <3

EDIT: I found how to fix it. Go in to your projects folder in explorer and find and remove any unused assets. I had deleted an actor that was using the plugin a while back, and it didn’t show up in my project, but in explorer the file was actually still there!. So i deleted it manually, and now my project builds successfully.
