Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Replying to [comment:9 mindctrl]:
 > What about instead of telling them to delete the installed version and
 risking data loss, either:
 > - Tell them the plugin already exists, and link to the updates page to
 check for updates.
 > - Point them to a Codex page that gives more proper instructions

 The first option sounds good to me.
