This is a ticket for the same topic. Removing LSWS from plesk is very easy but it will need to follow the right process. For example, first step is to switch to apache.

/usr/local/lsws/admin/misc/cp_switch_ws.sh apache

if "[ERROR] Apache is not up within 30 secs. Please check the log file." Apache could not be started, it is not a LiteSpeed issue at all. it may caused by bad apache configuration. You will need to fix it first before any further step to remove LSWS. ( There is no harm to leave LSWS there without removing since after switching to apache, LSWS has no effect at all and /usr/local/lsws is taking very small space.

If Apache can not be started, you can also console Plesk support. It is out of the LiteSpeed support scope to fix your plesk Apache issue.
