Why uninstalling the following (empty) plugin results in error?

Here is my-plugin/my-plugin.php:

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: My Plugin
*/

and my-plugin/uninstall.php:

<?php

When I click 'Delete' and then confirm, I get the following error:

Plugin could not be deleted due to an error: Could not fully remove the plugin(s) my-plugin/my-plugin.php.

What's wrong here?

~/Sites/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/my-plugin $ ls -ll

This worked for me:

  1. chmod 777 -R <yourfilename>

  2. Adding define('FS_METHOD', 'direct'); to the wp-config.php file
