Remove Facebook Publish Service

Now that the Facebook Publish service does not work, all of a sudden it is showing up in my Publish Services (which it did not before as I did not use it) Is there a way to get rid of this? I do not want it cluttering up my panel and in the Plugin Manager the option to "Remove" is grayed out. I tried throwing away the plugin but still no go...

LR for Windows 10:

Open LR

File > Plug-in manager

Select Facebook in the left panel

Click Show in Explorer in the right panel (this will take you to the folder containing Facebook.lrplugin

Back in LR, close the Plug-in manager, then close LR

Back in Windows Explorer, delete Facebook.lrplugin

Open LR again and the Facebook service will no longer appear in the list of Publlsh Services

Hope this helps.

I presume (as another LR user) that after a time, ie.until many users are aware of the message that appears  "Facebook no longer allows......", then Adobe will add the R-click option to [Hide] the Facebook header, or preferably, remove it entirely from the Publish Panel in a future update.
