Delete plugin post if ZIP upload fails

[ocean90]

I just had the case where the ZIP upload had failed.
The upload handler correctly returns an error. But since the associated post is created before it now remains in the database, without a ZIP to review.

I suggest to delete the post in this case so the plugin author can try to upload the plugin again.

This is a good feature. I would like to code for it. but how i can start ?

That would mark the 3rd time in a year that it's happened. All the times that've resulted in a post, we just email the dev and tell them robots ate their zip, can we have another.

I don't know that deleting would work 'right' with everything else going on with post statuses.

This has not happened in the 18 months since this ticket was opened.

I'm closing this since it may be 'fixed' by something else we did. If it happens again, we can reopen, but I think we're okay :)
