Before deleting FIFU permanently, take a look at...

FIFU Settings > Featured image > Save in the media library
You MAY run that to save the external images in the media library. Depending on the number of images, it'll take days to complete and requires a lot of storage. Without that, your site won't be able to display the images that were loaded from URLs.
FIFU Settings > Metadata > Clean metadata
You MUST run that to clean the metadata created by FIFU. Without that, your site should display a broken image icon instead of every external image.
FIFU Settings > Metadata > Delete all URLs
You MAY run that to delete all the external URLs stored in FIFU custom fields. This way you save some database space." }, "icons" : { "1x" : "https://ps.w.org/featured-image-from-url/assets/icon-128x128.png", "2x" : "https://ps.w.org/featured-image-from-url/assets/icon-256x256.png" }, "banners": { "low": "https://ps.w.org/featured-image-from-url/assets/banner-772x250.png", "high": "https://ps.w.org/featured-image-from-url/assets/banner-1544x500.png" } }
