How to fix a HTTP 500 error caused by activating W3 Total Cache plugin?

I installed and activated the W3 Total Cache plugin for WordPress, but then immediately had a 500 error appear on the admin panel. The site is up and running fine but I can't access the plugins to deactivate it.

Has anyone got a solution for this?

Solution
    1. Login to your site’s files using the file manager provided by your host or use FTP program such as Filezilla to see files/folders.
    2. Browse to the /wp-content/plugins/ folder.
    3. Find the folder of the plugin you wish to disable.
    4. Rename that folder as w3-total-cache.deactivate
    5. Once you do this, The plugin will be deactivated.
