 * I just updated to 2.3.3. I went to update a few plugins but found I cannot delete,
   modify, overwrite, or do anything with any plugin sub-dir. Also, the plugin dir
   and sub-dirs now have a .pi-update file (no extension).
 * Any suggestions?

 * Okay, I’ve Googled .pi-update and searched here as well with no luck.
 * Does anyone know anything about this mysterious file and why I cannot delete 
   sub-dirs in my /plugins folder?
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 * Ok, how about this: can someone tell me why, after my update, I cannot delete
   any sub-dir in my /plugins folder? It has something to do with apache owning 
   permissions?
