When using FileZilla what permissions does the file have?
Example:
![]()
Try stop the server then delete them
If this doesn't work its probably this
Actually, assuming their server is hosted on a linux machine, you can delete the files while they're in use. The FTP server will happily forcefully delete them and doesn't even care about which processes are using the file99% sure it's this. You cannot delete plugins while the server is running and they're loaded in in any form, even if they're not properly loaded in. The server has to be off, or otherwise in a paused state in the console in-between restarts (I use a 5 second restart loop on my server processes so that I can momentarily stop the server to delete plugins without having to fully shut down and restart manually).
So, let us know if this solves your problem, other people may have the same issue.
