 * Hey mrppp,
 * Only delete the contents if you have no packages in main packages page…
 * Cheers~

 * And if one were to delete the contents in this folder while having packages in
   the dashboard…. what would be the steps to resolve a 500 internal error?

 * i have not got in that position, but would deleting the plugin not solve it? 
   Backup the folder first though)

 * Deleting the plugin, changing permissions on wp-config and index.php from 644
   to 755, and deleted the wp-snapshots folder. 500 error gone.
    I’m about to dig
   through the php database and remove any trace of the plugin, then try reinstalling.

 * @lifeinthegrid
    Can I delete the Duplicator table in the database? I’m hesitant,
   thinking this might have further implications than I’m expecting.
 * I’ve deleted the plugin, the wp-snapshots folder, and changed permissions on 
   index.php and wp-config. If I install the plugin and activate, it alters permissions
   on these files to 644 and the site goes to 500 internal error.
 * I love the plugin and want to use it, but I can’t activate with out killing the
   site. Will deleting the table be a clean restart?
 * Thanks

 * if i were you i would always keep a local copy, play with that before a live 
   site.
 * but backup database if it screws it load the backup.

 * True! It was a momentary lapse in judgement… I wanted to decrease the size of
   the next package and was already logged in to the FTP so just manually deleted
   the zip, php, and sql for the previous packages in wp-snapshots. #dontdothat
   
   Moving too fast, trying to create a quick safety net and made a dumb move.

 * easily done, i screwed a site the other night, luckily i had only hours previous
   download a package and put on local site, so within 2 mins reversed the process,
   fantastic plugin this.
