# Can't completely uninstall WordPress

 * I tried uploading a theme that was given to me by someone else. The files corrupted
   my site so I tried uninstalling WordPress manually (didn’t know you could do 
   it through fantastico), but somehow there are still files there that won’t allow
   me to reinstall WordPress. Ugh. I have deleted every file associated with WordPress.
   But when I try reinstalling it, the error says that not more than one file can
   be installed in the same root directory.
 * Can anyone help?
 * Thanks,
