Comment (by swissspidy):

 Patch didn't apply cleanly anymore, so I created a new one (see
 [attachment:20578.2.diff]) with some refined wording. It also now clearly
 distinguishes between 1 and many plugin, to get rid of the "these files
 and data" wording. The list of files is not displayed any longer, so this
 doesn't make sense anymore.

 1. Delete single plugin (no uninstall handler)

 2. Delete single plugin (uninstall handler)

 3. Delete multiple plugins (no uninstall handler)

 4. Delete multiple plugins (uninstall handler)

 IMHO that's the best wording so far. It makes it clear that completely
 uninstalling a plugin means  deleting it and all of its data.
