 * Hi [@julie559](https://wordpress.org/support/users/julie559/),
 * Thank you for reaching out. We apologize for having issues when trying to update.
 * The error you get “could not copy file” can have multiple causes. First, please
   verify whether there is enough available storage space on your hosting account.
 * If there is enough space, we would encourage you to do the following:
 * 1. Deactivate Yoast SEO and delete the plugin.
    2. Go to Plugins and click the‘
   Add New’ button on top of the page, search for Yoast SEO and install the latest
   plugin again.
 * You won’t lose any previously entered data or settings as those are stored in
   your database. However, we always recommend to have backups in case anything 
   goes wrong.

   require any further assistance please create a new issue.
