You will not lose any forms, entries or configuration that way. <strong>Do not UNINSTALL</strong> the plugin from the Settings page. That deletes everything, including database tables.</p> <p>Removing the plugin files this way will not affect the database at all, so your entries and forms will be safe. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/could-not-delete-old-plugin-when-trying-to-upgrade-to-new-version#post-133020 Sun, 27 Jan 2013 10:01:53 +0000 Mike G 133020@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I just inherited a website that had an old version of Gravity Forms installed on it. tried to upgrade the version(after purchasing and downloading), but get a message saying that the old version could not be deleted, so the upgrade failed.
