 * Hi there,
 * Somehow I have managed to install two instances of WooCommerce, though only one
   is activated. I am hesitant to go through with a delete for the deactivated instance
   of WooCommerce in case it deletes all my WooCommerce settings. I thought it would
   be better to come here and ask what to do so that I don’t lose all the hard work
   I’ve done to date. The following shows the details for both on my plugins page:
 * WooCommerce
    Settings | Deactivate | Edit An e-commerce toolkit that helps you
   sell anything. Beautifully. Version 2.4.7 | By WooThemes | View details | Docs
   | API Docs | Premium Support There is a new version of WooCommerce available.
   View version 2.4.12 details or update now.
 * WooCommerce
    Activate | Edit | Delete An e-commerce toolkit that helps you sell
   anything. Beautifully. Version 2.4.7 | By WooThemes | View details There is a
   new version of WooCommerce available. View version 2.4.12 details or update now.
 * The following is what I see when I click ‘Delete’ ONLY for the deactivated instance:
   
   Delete Plugins You are about to remove the following plugins:
 * WooCommerce by WooThemes (will also delete its data)
    WooCommerce by WooThemes(
   will also delete its data) Are you sure you wish to delete these files and data?
 * As WooCommerce appears twice, does that mean my activated version will be deleted
   as well? How do I get rid of the deactivated one?
 * Many thanks,
 * Mel

 * You can delete one of them via FTP or your hosting file manager so no data will
   be deleted if you do it this way.
