Comment:

 +1 Sometimes a plugin gets partly (un)installed during automatic update
 due to failing to delete the plugin folder (in use error) or a request
 timeout. To be able to reinstall a plugin you then must delete it, either
 trough FTP or the proposed delete without uninstalling action.

 Plugins page should als list folders without a valid plugin inside (empty
 or not) and offer to delete that folder and contents. Separate ticket for
 this?
