can't get into Admin because of an extension

[Argyll45]

Running joomla 3.11 recently updated and now I get the message

Deprecated: Required parameter $url follows optional parameter $data in /****/*/*/htdocs/***/Joomla/***/plugins/system/antispambycleantalk/classes/Cleantalk.php on line 269

the folk at cleantalk anti spam say I can replace the contents of the cleantalk plugin folder with the new version I had to get. I am not so sure.

guess I am looking for reassurance before taking this step.

You can disable plugins via the database using phpMyAdmin or another tool.
All extensions are in the #__extensions table.
The enabled field determines if the extension is enabled (1 = yes, 0 = no).

You can also rename the plugin folder so that it won't loaded,
e.g use FTP to rename
/plugins/system/antispambycleantalk/
to
/plugins/system/antispambycleantalk-old/
