    You shouldn’t delete public_html.

    As described in your other thread, posts, pages, user, comments, categories, and tag are kept in your MySQL database and you should learn to back that up NOW!

    Files on your host (I guess that’s what you mean by ‘filezilla server’) are WordPress programs, themes, and plugins. Also any uploads such as pictures, music, and movies, will be in the WordPress folders or subfolders. So you might want to backup all your WordPress files before deleting any thing.

    Read and follow WordPress Backups before moving on.
