 * Extremely sorry for your inconvenience. In last update we have improved code 
   base and using namespace, which require php v5.3.0+ ( [http://php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.rationale.php](http://php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.rationale.php)),
   may you please update your server php version, however if that is not possible,
   you can get back the previous version from here [https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/download-manager.2.8.3.zip](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/download-manager.2.8.3.zip).

 * I have update the plugin and then i got the following message:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in C:\domains\—–\wwwroot\wp-content\
   plugins\download-manager\download-manager.php on line 12
 * I changed the version of the plugin for the older one and did an update of the
   php version to v5.3 but i still have the following message:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in C:\domains\—–\wwwroot\wp-content\
   plugins\download-manager\download-manager.php on line 12
 * (after removing the plugin completely and a new install, the message disapeared)

 * Question
 * If we remove the plugin completely and re-install it, will it keep my uploaded
   files or all uploads would also get deleted with plugin deletion?

 * [@arslan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arslan/), in that case you need
   to contact your server/hosting support.
    Yes, you can delete and reinstall plugin,
   all old data still will be there.
