I opened Octave today and this showed up on the Command window.

warning: function .\plot.m shadows a core library function

I tried running an .m file with plot functions but it doesn't work. I tried uninstalling and re-installing Octave but it's still there. What should I do?

You saved one of your files as plot.m, and so Octave now does not know how to differentiate between yours, and the standard plot() function. It will always use yours. Octave is simply telling you that this is happening and that you should probably change your local file name to something else.
