File won't delete

#1 Post by mapchick » 2018-08-16 15:15

I'm trying to delete a file I uploaded via a Plugin on Wordpress. I found the Plugin file , clicked on it, then right clicked to delete. A prompt comes up asking if I really want to delete it, I choose yes. Bu the file is still there, even after refreshing and restarting filezilla? What else can I do?

When the file refuses to delete, there ought to be a red error in the log pane. What did it display?

Either the FTP user (FTP account or User account the server software runs under) doesn't have sufficient privileges to delete the file, or it is still in use/locked by another process.

That's what is crazy, there was no red error, it acted like it worked but then the file is still there. I'm going to check with the Plugin people to see if they somehow have it locked. Thank you for the response!
