 * Hi there,
 * For you guys it may be a pretty basic question – but how do I delete an old plug-
   in. The automatic update to the latest version failed because it could not delete
   the old version. So I think, I have to figure out how to do this myself.
 * Any hints?

 * If it’s failing I’d try deleting the entire plugin folder through FTP.
