Remove a filter plugin so I can uninstall the module that provided that plugin

I am trying to use an update_hook to uninstall video_embed_wysiwyg.

  • I have successfully removed the button from the toolbar of my WYSIWYG text format in the update_hook.
  • Disabled the Video Embed WYSIWYG under enabled videos in the update_hook.
  • All references to video_embed_wysiwyg removed from editor.editor.wysiwyg.yml in update_hook.
  • All references to video_embed_wysiwyg removed from filter.format.wysiwyg.yml in update_hook.
  • There are no nodes that use a video_embed_wysiwyg.

When I add the line to uninstall the module in my update_hook Drupal::service('module_installer')->uninstall(['video_embed_wysiwyg']); I get the following error:

[error] The following reasons prevent the modules from being uninstalled: Provides a filter plugin that is in use in the following filter formats: WYSIWYG

But my filter is not ‘in use’. It’s turned off. What am I missing so I can uninstall this module?
