 * Either manually or from wordpress, the plugin doesn’t update. It can’t delete
   the previous files.

 * Hi,
 * It is highly likely that wordpress lacks the rights to install the plugin. It
   is necessary to delete the folder with the plugin via ftp and re-install the 
   plugin. If the error recurs (Plugin install failed), you will have to give the
   folder wp-content/plugins 755 permissions and try again.
 * Sincerely,
    Support Team
