 * Hi there, GREAT initiative 🙂
 * Is it okay for me to remove the old NextGEN Gallery 1.9.13 now?
    I know its deactivated,
   it just annoys me that it keeps asking to get updated. Thanks!

 * Hi Ramzii,
    thanks for your comments. Please read the FAQ and follow the instructions.
   As it says, AVOID using the normal WP uninstall procedure, since it will delete
   NGG configuration and it will screw your work.
 * If you feel unsure, backup your site first(!).

 * Thanks for the answer!
    If people are curious, here’s how i went about it.
 * In FTP filezilla I:
 * 0. backupped the original ‘nextgen-gallery’ folder
    1. renamed the ‘nextgen-gallery’
   to ‘xnextgen-gallery’ 2. checked on the site if there were any difference, there
   weren’t 3. strangely wordpress still recognized the plugin 4. so I deleted the
   folder ‘xnextgen-gallery’.. via the FTP 5. checked the site again.. for any strange
   behaviour.. 6. concluded its all good! 7. thanking you again

 * Hi Ramzii,
    Well done. Remember that WP will try to identify the plugin no matter
   what folder name it is using. The only condition is the plugin has to be under
   plugins folder.
