   I used the WordPress importer and imported an XML file of sample content for a theme I bought.

   How do I delete that sample content now?

   No idea where the actual data file is.

   Thanks for any help!

   Most likely in the theme folder wp-content/themes/yourthemefolder

   Weird, but I deleted the entire theme and the sample content still shows. Which is why I am confused as to where it actually IS. But thank you for responding!

   I don't really know what you mean by WordPress importer. Did you look in wp-content/uploads (or whatever your upload path is set to in the Settings)?

   Under Tools -- Import -- WordPress. That is the importer.

   Yes I looked in uploads. The sample content I'm talking about is things like fake posts, and page structure, and things like that. Extensive menu items.

   I have never used that but if you used the one that says "Install the WordPress importer to import posts, pages, comments, custom fields, categories, and tags from a WordPress export file." and imported a WordPress export file, that data could/would be in a lot of places.

   I finally just went in and deleted everything by hand. Seems like there would be an easier way, though. Whew. Thx again though.
