what to do when destination folder already exists?

[cchugan3]

trying to upgrade to latest version, but install process fails and replies with this message:

Destination folder already exists. /home/solahug8/public_html/forensicsciencecareer.net/wp-content/themes/socrates/


Do I have to log in to cpanel every time, delete the socrates folder, and then install it? That doesn't seem kosher

never mind - resolved via prior thread with same question.
