Dear @Information Technology 

if you want to uninstall addon without web portal all addons are stored in your home directory you will find a directory named "plugins" then "installed plugins" please stop confluence first then you can remove addons from their, kindly take a backup from this directory before moving it then try to start confluence again and it will start without any addons.

I think you should review your server.xml configurations.

please accept my answer if it helps you on your issue.

Best Regards,
