# Plugin installation failed

 * I tried uploading a new plugin through my blog and by using filezilla.
    I had
   changed the name of the plugin and of course it failed to upload properly.
 * Now when I upload, browse to plugin zip file, open, etc it fails and I get this
   message…
 * Installing the plugin…
 * Destination folder already exists. /home/howtocur/public_html/TheTruth/wp-content/
   plugins/ViralFB-Unlimited/
 * Help please? I don’t know how to get rid of that destination folder. I’m guessing
   that is what I need to do.
 * Thanks very much in advance for advice.
