 After [51815] there is an error when updating large plugins such as
 Gutenberg or WooCommerce.
 After debugging the issue, it seems to be due to a PHP timeout and depends
 on the server's configuration (which is why the failure only occurs for
 large plugins).
 The way we delete a directory in PHP is by going through all files in that
 directory and deleting them one by one (as far as I know this is the only
 way). As a result, deleting or restoring a backup of a large plugin takes
 more time than expected.
