 * strange, your version of php is not behaving the same as I would expect. try 
   this if you feel comfortable. In the /wp-content/plugins/imsanity folder locate
   and edit the file ‘imsanity.php’
 * At line 67 it should look like this:
 * `rename($newPath, $oldPath);`
 * Add a new statement above that so it looks like this:
 *     ```
       unlink($oldPath);
       rename($newPath, $oldPath);
       ```
   
 * If this works then I’ll add it to the next update.
