Downloaded Feed Importer plug in to godaddy hosted wordpress site. Installed plu gi and now I am completely locked out of wp admin and sit is down.
Here is error message - Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class WP_Feed_Cache in /home/content/38/7968238/html/wp-includes/class-feed.php on line 16
What can I do to get back wp admin and delete plug ins and get website live again?
Appreciate any assistance.

Answer. Feed Importer was creating conflict with WP Feed Cahe.
I deleted Feed Importer folder in FTP and was able to open site and get back into admin.
Whew!

I'm sure that I've replied to this on a different place, but Google cannot find it, so, for
the sake of completeness, here it goes again.
The issue is mostly because some plugins related to RSS feeds use their own version of SimplePie (a library to deal with RSS feed parsing) which conflicts with WP's own. This doesn't happen on all sites/plugin combinations, but happens on some.
One option to fix this is to edit ../wp-includes/class-feed.php and add
if ( !class_exists('WP_Feed_Cache') ) { class WP_Feed_Cache ... }
etc. for all classes defined in ../wp-includes/class-feed.php.
Of course, you have to remember to do this every time WP is upgraded :(
