Plugin Update Failure

  • I am having an issue with updating plugins. Several times, a plugin fails when it updates at the point of trying to remove the old version. Once this happens, the plugin is removed from my list of installed plugins (active or inactive) but remains on my ftp server in the wp-content/plugins folder. However, I cannot delete the plugin from my ftp server and cannot reinstall the plugin because it already has a directory. So, I have forced, in some cases, to rename the folders “unwanted” and then reinstall. Some folders will not let me even change the names. It’s a real pain in the ass.
    I am reluctant to update any plugins now but know that it’s important for the health of the site.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.
