 Noticed while investigating on #34439

 Sometimes, plugin authors bundle multiple plugins in the same directory.
 They shouldn't to this in the first place, but they do.

 When deleting one of the "same directory" plugins, WordPress handles this
 displaying a warning with a message that correctly lists all the plugins
 that are going to be deleted:

 By the way, if one of these plugin is activated, there's no warning and
 users can actually delete an activated plugin. This should definitely be
 avoided.

 Also, needs to check what happens on multisite installations :)
