 * Having updated a plugin and crashed wordpress i need to remove it and reinstall(
   without the stupid plugin). Can anyone advise ? this was installed from my hosting
   control panel and I’m worried that if i used FTP access to erase the site it 
   will leave traces behind that will stop me re-installing on top.

 * If your wordpress was installed via web host automatically, you shall uninstall
   it.
    Alternatively, in order to fix your problem, you can rename the plugin folder
   located at wp-content/plugins and then try accessing the site. This shall fix
   it. and if the site runs fine, delete the renamed plugin folder.
