Unlike WordPress there is not activate or deactivate system in core Q2A but if plugin gives that functionality. Usually you can simply remove plug-in by removing all files. However it is not necessary that error will disappear.

By the way your error is saying there is not dataase table exists for the plugin. I haven't checked this plugin but I guess this plugin required dataase initialization. Check once by going to Admin > Plugin page it may show you notificatoin bar to initialize database.

Hi,

I finally fixed it, use php to create a table with the same parameters used in plugin file, then it's ok!
