    I'm a newbie, and try to install a wp site. When I delete the version I installed, I delete it by click the "remove". So I think I have removed the old one, I try to install a new version, when I click "install", the massege come out:Install WordPress (2/3)

    The installation can not be completed:

    - You chose to install in the main directory of the domain treatmentforhemorrhoidinfo.com, but there are conflicting filenames, therefore we can not proceed. Following filenames already exist in the main directory of the domain treatmentforhemorrhoidinfo.com (path="/home/xc08401/public_html/").You must manually remove these files before proceeding with auto-installation:
    wp-admin
    wp-content
    wp-includes
    fantversion.php
    index.php
    license.txt
    readme.html
    wp-app.php
    wp-atom.php
    wp-blog-header.php
    wp-comments-post.php
    wp-commentsrss2.php
    wp-config-sample.php
    wp-config.php
    wp-cron.php
    wp-feed.php
    wp-links-opml.php
    wp-load.php
    wp-login.php
    wp-mail.php
    wp-pass.php
    wp-rdf.php
    wp-register.php
    wp-rss.php
    wp-rss2.php
    wp-settings.php
    wp-trackback.php
    xmlrpc.php

    Click on the browser's Back button to fix reported error"

    Can anyone can tell me what shall I do?
    Thanks.

    You must manually remove these files before proceeding with auto-installation:
    This means you must connect to your webspace using an ftp program such as filezilla & delete the files.

    Which web hosting company are you using? Someone here may have experience with their admin panel as the method you're using to install WordPress is part of that, not part of WordPress.

    you can also use the host's file manager to delete the files

    You are probably better off installing and learning how to use an FTP client. Some info on that here:

    xc08401 - I had a similar problem where deleting didn't work. Only thing that worked for me was to rename the folders "wp-content", "wp-admin" and "wp-includes". I also did a post on it at my site here: http://nickriebe.com/cant-delete-wordpress-folders-to-re-install/

    HTH,
