I wanna help by testing – But am I doing it right?

I was very happy to see the release of nightly builds.
http://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-album/forum/topic/latest-version-nightly-build-now-on-google-code/

It’s time I start testing this plugin. But this got me scared:
NOTE: When testing the NIGHTLY BUILD version, you must delete ALL previous BP Album+ database tables, cache, and content folders before installing the new version

How do I know for sure I’ve deleted all those things? Will a delete via the backend take care of it, or is there a more thorough deletion process I should be aware of?

You delete the DB tables using phpMyAdmin if you’re using an XAMPP or MAMPP setup on your local computer, or whatever program your web host provides if you’re running on a remote server.

Deactivate the plugin

When upgrading from nightly build 2010-07-15 delete all the db tables prefixed with bpm_

Delete the directories /blogs.dir/X/bpa-cache and /blogs.dir/X/bpa-media

Delete the contents of the bp-album plugin directory.

Then upload the new plugin.

Activate. Deactivate. Activate.

Then it should work.

Thanks!
