I was running version 2.2.2 and clicked 'upgrade automatically'. Now I have two version of the plugin installed, 2.2.2 and 2.2.3. Even though the latest version is installed, the 2.2.2 version is notifying me to upgrade. Is this expected?
I have the plugin installed on several websites so I wanted to make sure everything is ok before I proceed.

Here's a screenshot of what I'm describing above.

Anyone else experiencing this?
What happened is that back a couple of years ago it was more common for plugins to be installed right in the plugins directory, like
plugins/wp-db-backup.php
instead of what people do now:
plugins/wp-db-backup/wp-db-backup.php
The result is that when you upgrade from the former to the latter, the former doesn't get deleted because it's not in the expected wp-db-backup directory.
You can safely delete it though.

@Austin,
This makes complete sense to me now.
After I upgrade, I will delete version 2.2.2.
Thanks!
