 * Hi there,
 * Below is an automated email I received from WordPress.
 * I’m curious as to why I received this email, because I un-installed the UpdraftPlus
   plugin. I now have 8 total plugins, and UpdraftPlus is not one of them.
 * Thoughts?
 * Best,
    Robert

 * Howdy! Some plugins have automatically updated to their latest versions on your
   site at <mywebsite.com>. No further action is needed on your part.
 * These plugins are now up to date:
    – UpdraftPlus – Backup/Restore (from version
   2.16.42.24 to 2.16.43.24)

 * Hi,
 * Please try to double check if the email is coming from the same website? You 
   can check and delete “updraftplus” folder in the “wp-content/plugins” folder 
   if it still exists.
 * Best Wishes,
    Bryle

 * Hi Bryle,
 * Thank you very much for your response. That’s a good suggestion.
 * I’m a real newbie: can you please tell me how to delete something from the “wp-
   content/plugins” folder?
 * Thanks again!

 * – Connect to your website using FTP client, or File Manager in cPanel.
    – Navigate
   to the /wp-content/ folder. – Inside the wp-content folder, you will see a folder
   called plugins. – If the UpdraftPlus folder has not already been deleted, you
   should be able to delete it here.
