[Issue]: Uninstalling plugin causes old version to be updated on restart

[zilexa]

Please describe your bug

Jellyfin running via docker compose. Host is Manjaro Gnome.

Whenever I uninstall Trakt addon and restart (as required by the server), I end up with 2 (even 3!) Trakt versions of the plugin, visible in Dashboard>Plugins. I have now removed Trakt addon 6 times already, but always end up with multiple Trakt plugins.

To reproduce:

1. Install Trakt addon.
2. I have been using it for over a year.
3. In a browser go to Jellyfin > Dashboard > Plugins, disable trakt plugin.
4. Restart server.
5. Do the same but now uninstall trakt plugin.
6. Restart server.
7. Notice trakt plugin now shows up twice, an old "superseeded" version that was not present before, and the latest version.
8. Keep repeating steps.
9. Notice you will always end up with 2 to 3 Trakt plugins.

How do I really get rid of Trakt?

This looks like #8681 was not properly fixed

[zilexa]

I managed to get rid of Trakt eventually, following specific steps, don't remember how but you have multiple options disable/uninstall etc, so if you select one of those for one of the plugins and something else for the other Trakt plugins, then let plugins be updated before restarting. Something like that. I bit of a puzzle.

[g2p]

My workaround was to run

rm -rf /var/lib/jellyfin/plugins/SomePlugin*

to remove all past versions of the plugin while Jellyfin is stopped.

[zilexa]

On the latest version, removing Trakt (there was only 1 Trakt plugin), then restart Jellyfin (docker container restart), then go to plugins and see this, Trakt multiplied exponentially:

When I go to plugin repository and find the Trakt plugin, it says I have version 19 installed already.
But the version I removed, was version 23. There was no v19 visibly installed.

This is caused by Jellyfin not cleaning up old plugin versions on plugin upgrade. We need to check for old versions on start and remove them, otherwise the update check on start will update the old version again.
