You need to move the files from the /wp/ folder.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress - might be a bit complex, take backups. If in doubt, a techy friend can help I'm sure.

Or a certain Youtube video explaining such process. -

Posted 3 months ago #Is your website in a /wp/ folder? If yes, you have to move the files. To change the links in your content, you can make an export of your DB and then search for http://www.example.com/wp and replace it with http://www.example.com

Generally, there is one way, if there was more than one way, I'd have provided the simple one.
As for a video, why here you go:

@kokotea: See Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory. It's far simpler than moving the entire WordPress install.

I appreciate your answer. -
@emsi, will you be able to update wordpress installing it this way? Just curious, have never tried doing it this way.

Absolutely. The only thing you have to remember is that you still login via http://domain_name/wp/wp-admin after the "move". Other than that, it's no different than a root domain install.

Cool, well at least that's something I've learned to help future users with the problem, it's a bit daunting for newcomers. I almost feel their pain.

It's also an excellent approach for developing a new site in a sub-folder and then launching it on the main domain. I've done that a few times.
