Can't Delete wp-includes folder (1 post)

    Hello,

    I am trying to help a friend who's blog has been compromised. I'm trying to do a manual upgrade to 2.8.4 but when I tried to delete the wp-includes folder via FTP, nothing happened. It appeared that the items were being deleted (each of the folders were highlighted as the highlight went down the list. The Status area of the FTP screen showed there was activity but all of the folders and files were still there.

    After trying to delete the folder several times, I decided to try and overwrite the folder. Some 50 files weren't transfered over. Among them were:

    wp-include\js\codepress\languages\javascript.css
    wp-include\js\codepress\languages\javascript.js
    wp-include\js\codepress\languages\perl.css
    wp-include\js\codepress\languages\perl.js
    wp-include\js\tinymce\plugins\tabfocus\editor_plugin.js

    Has anyone experienced a similar problem? I'd like to be able to do a clean upgrade, that is, completely remove the old wp-includes folder and get all required files onto the server.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    l.
