    Hi, I had wordpress working, then tried to download something else which started to overwrite wordpress, so I backed off. (too late)
    I have since deleted wordpress so that I can reinstall it.
    I only get to level 2/3 and get this message "(path="/home/edj25789/public_html/").You must manually remove these files before proceeding with auto-installation:
    wp-admin
    wp-content
    wp-includes"

    Can you help or do I get my hosting to remove it.
    Thanks ed

    Log into either the file manager for your hosting account or your FTP client and delete the files specified.

    Thank you for your answers, I did go to file manager and followed the path given. I deleted wp-admin, content & includes but I would do out of the page and when I went back into the page again they were all back there again. ed
