 * running WP 4.4.1
    not sure of the backWPup version since it’s not listed anymore
   it has disappeared from my plugin list, but the folder is still in the plugins
   folder. When I try to reinstall the plugin it says folder already exists and 
   fails, but can’t delete folder. any clue what could have caused this ?

 * after further investigation, it seems something has locked the inc and languages
   folders. I even logged in through the site’s host file manager and it says no
   users have permissions to those 2 folders and they are locked.. they show being
   edited 12/14 at 8:37am, the rest have the date the plugin was installed 6/11/
   2015.
    interesting that the date syntax is different for those 2 folders..

 * Sorry, but with date yntax the plugin has nothing to do. You can ask you hoster
   how to delete that folder completly.
