# Installation Error

 * This development site was created via FTP transfer from a different server. I
   had access to the Starter Templates library on the old site/server, but the plug-
   in is not installed in this new development environment. I’m not sure what I 
   need to delete from the directory tree to remedy the following error message,
   received during my attempted installation:
 * **Installation failed: Destination folder already exists.**
 * I would appreciate any assistance you can lend.
 * I’m reluctant to delete any of the Astra folders since the site under development
   is using Astra as its theme.
 * Looking forward to your response. Thank you.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Finstallation-error-161%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
