Comment:

 Could not reproduce the issue on 57.0.2987.98 (64-bit). Plugin just got
 deleted fine. The only difference is '''I am on Linux, not on Windows'''.

 Can you please check JS console of your Chrome? It seems to me that there
 may be some JavaScript errors popping up in your Chrome which is
 preventing the actual AJAX deletion method to perform correctly. It is
 more likely your Chrome browser rather than a bug in the Plugin deletion
 process.

 In Firefox the JS error is possibly getting bypassed and taking you to the
 next page to confirm whether you want to proceed with the deletion
 process!

 In Chrome deletion is done on-page by a JavaScript confirmation alert
 whereas FireFox redirects us to another page for the same confirmation.
 The redirection is done from server side hence no JavaScript is required
 to this point. On that page the deletion is also done using server script.

 One more thing. Are you getting any on-screen error message (on Chrome)?
 If so, please share that as well. It is also worth checking the permission
 of your actual plugin folder inside `wp-content/themes`.
