Description
We have a button to re-install the currently installed version of WordPress core.
It would be nice to have a way to do the same thing with existing plugins and themes from the Admin UI.
As much as we hope spam/malware does not happen ever, it does still occur. Having a quick way to start the plugin fresh without trace of the infected files would make cleaning up infected sites more efficient than having to s/ftp into the server and manually upload/clean up.
This is also only my immediate idea of why the functionality would be beneficial and I'm sure others could think of more reasons.
