The message says reloading won't help, and then:\n\n- if the marketplace is declared in a settings file, tells you to rename it there to keep it\n\n- otherwise, tells you to remove it with a command or through `\/plugin` \u2192 Marketplaces, and warns that removing it also uninstalls its plugins and deletes their saved data\n\n**Why**\n\nThis guards against marketplaces pretending to be Anthropic's, and tells you what to do if one of yours is caught by it.\n\n- Area: Plugins\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
