Files should be deleted first, but not the files of custom plugins. Otherwise they run into issues like #10884 and #10805
Maybe we could be better offering a command that accepts a path to a zip file, or a "update-files-only" command. Maybe even via UI. The command with the regular update logic would make sure to delete not needed files. This is for cases where people had a problem where one or two files were not updated or deleted etc. Of course the same problem could happen again and the same files might not be updated or deleted.
When updating manually, we would need to be able to show a list of which files need to be deleted. Not sure what best workflow would be, but people are running into these issues all the time and we get issues about these issues all the time.
