 * Disable then delete. I’d also check the .htaccess files after doing this to make
   sure they have defaulted back to their original state. If not then get a copy
   of the originals either from your backups or just download the latest WordPress
   and copy the htaccess file over.
 * Although in saying this, unless it’s causing any major problems I wouldn’t be
   disabling it. It’s a fine security plugin it just needs more thought put into
   settings.
 * For instance I have found 99% of the time when you enable the “No directory browsing”
   feature on an Apache server you WILL crash the site and get error 500 for every
   page.
 * There’s lots of little nuances like that, regardless it’s a great security plugin.
