 * First, let me thank anyone who has time to help me in advance. I’ve searched 
   for this topic and read through almost all of the postings. Where I run into 
   problems is that I am not an expert in website programming or in the details 
   that go into the domain or host settings. I can, however, follow a list of instructions.
 * About 2 weeks ago, I upgraded to 4.1. At that point, I was no longer able to 
   upgrade my plugins. The following is the message I get for all of my plugins.
 * Message from Adsense Plugin Update:
    “Update Plugin Downloading update from [https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/adsense-now-lite.4.60.zip…](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/adsense-now-lite.4.60.zip…)
 * Unpacking the update…
 * Installing the latest version…
 * Removing the old version of the plugin…
 * Could not remove the old plugin.
 * Plugin update failed.”
 * Can anyone help me with some easy to follow next steps? It feels silly that this
   is a problem on a modern web publishing system.
 * Thank you,
    Steve

 * I would make a fresh re-install of WordPress core and see if that will fix it.
