 * Hi,
    I have deactivated and deleted your plugin but I got an email with this 
   error message:
 *     ```
       Dear User,
       WP Super Cache has been removed or deactivated from your blog but some files can not
       be deleted.
   
       (a link came up here, I didn't post it because I don't know if it can be done and if it's safe to do so)
   
       You should delete these files manually.
       You may need to change the permissions of the files or the parent directory.
       You can read more about this in the Codex at
       https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions#About_Chmod
       Thank you.
       ```
   
 * I am very inexperienced and have no idea what happened or how to proceed.
 * Please, can you help me?
 * Thank you in advance!
