 * FTP.
 * You either need to use ftp, or a file manager if your host offers one.
 * To do either, you will need the hosting username/password which hopefully you
   have.
 * using either method, you navigate to wp-content->plugins, and delete the folder
   for mingle, then reinstall
 * Its the hard way to see why WP has that warning about editing active plugins

 * filezilla is a free program. Its what I use, gogole for it and you can find the
   program and documentation
 * you install it and point it to the ftp server (which the url is usually ftp://
   sitename.com)
 * then login with the server (not wordpress) credentials.
 * From there it works similar to windows explorer or whatever, its just a way to
   manage files remotely
