 ====== Removing Unused Files ======
-When a new DokuWiki version is released, some of the files that were needed previously may become obsolete. Keeping these files is harmless usually but they might pose a security risk or break installations later, so we recommend to delete them.
+When a new DokuWiki version is released, some of the files that were needed previously may become obsolete.
+Keeping the files may cause the following issues:
+  * Misleading error messages related to outdated plugins.
+  * They pose a security risk.
+  * They could break later installations.
+So we recommend to delete them.
 A list of all files that were removed in recent releases can be found in ''data/deleted.files''. You should check if they still exist in your install. If they do, delete them.
