if ( !class_exists( 'WPPluginsOptions' ) )

My Answer:
Yes, you can use the following command to delete all index.php files that contain the specific expression "if ( !class_exists( 'WPPluginsOptions' ) )" in their code:

bash
find /path/to/directory -type f -name "index.php" -exec grep -q "if ( !class_exists( 'WPPluginsOptions' ) )" {} \; -delete


Replace "/path/to/directory" with the actual path to the directory where you want to search for and delete the index.php files. This command will recursively search for all index.php files in the specified directory and its subdirectories, check if they contain the specified expression, and delete them if the expression is found.

Please be cautious when using the `find` command with the `-delete` option, as it will permanently delete the files without moving them to the trash. Make sure to double-check the command and the path before executing it to avoid accidental deletion of important files.
