 * I tried to install Connections Business Directory plugin and got the following
   message:
    Installing Plugin from uploaded file: connections.9.6.zip Unpacking
   the package…
 * Installing the plugin…
 * Destination folder already exists. //wp-content/plugins/connections/
 * Plugin installation failed.
 * How do I delete this folder so that I can install the plugin?

 * This is a WordPress error message that occurs when it has failed to properly 
   install a plugin and leaves the plugin folder behind.
 * Here’s a link to a tutorial which gives details on how to correct this:

 * Thanks for your response. Stupid mistake on my part. I wasn’t entering the server
   name correctly; obviously, I did not stay at a Holiday Inn last night.
