filter_view list plugin fatal error

[Bauer]

Got this tongue-twister of an error when trying to use the filter_view plugin on a list....

Fatal error: Cannot use Joomla\String\String as String because 'String' is a special class name in /home/public_html/plugins/fabrik_list/filter_view/filter_view.php on line 12

Where does filter_view come from? It's not in github ...

You got me. But looking at the folder just now I see the files are all dated 12/17/2015. There are language files for 6 different languages - and it's for Fabrik 3.0. So I know it's not something I did - I have a hard enough time with just English.

The description in the 3-line en-GB.plg_fabrik_list_filter_view.sys.ini is the clue as to why I even tried it...
PLG_FABRIK_LIST_FILTER_VIEW="Fabrik List - Filter View"
PLG_LIST_FILTER_VIEW_HELP_SERVER=""
PLG_LIST_FILTER_VIEW_DESCRIPTION="Adds a collapsible sidebar containing specified links to filter the data"

I take it I should uninstall or delete the files and forget about it.

Yeah, looks like that's one we threw away when we forked 3.1.
