Uninstalling WordPress using FTP? (9 posts)

    Hello

    I installed a WordPress blog on my domain using Fantastico and now I want to uninstall it. I have Filezilla and I can access all my files on the site but I am not sure which ones to delete.

    I have 3 folders starting with "wp" and a bunch of php files starting with "wp". Which do I delete to get the blog removed completely?

    Thanks
    Harris

    you really should use fantastico's "uninstall" option as there are files associated with that script that will interfere with a re-install if not removed

    OK, but the domain is my primary domain. I can't see the option "Remove" for my primary domain, am I missing something?

    I would ask your host about it
    you can delete it yourself but really need to be familiar with what you're doing

    Just letting you guys know, to uninstall WordPress from your primary domain using Fantastico just choose "Remove" at the site listed as "/" at the top

    How do you uninstall a wordpress site if it is NOT in the Fantastico list?

    If you do not have it on list you delete all wordpress files and folders and if are sure about uninstall you delete database and that will uninstall wordpress.
