 * Hi All,
 * Using the suggestion of a very helpful user here on this forum, I downloaded 
   Filezilla to assist with deleting posts off my blog. As was explained, in the
   process of migrating my blogger blog to wordpress, only 85% of my blog posts 
   uploaded and with no photos.
 * I was told that I could delete those posts via FTP and retry uploading it again,
   so I downloaded Filezilla to make things easier. Everything is set-up with Filezilla–
   my only problem is knowing what files are my blog posts. Can someone please let
   me know what file my blog posts would fall under?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Your posts are not saved in files they are saved in Database so you can not delete
   them with Ftp in admin panel click on posts and tick the ones you want to delete
   and they will be moved in trash folder then click on trash and delete them permanently.

 * Thanks govpatal. Although I’m aware of how to delete the posts manually using
   the bulk action via the dashboard, I was wondering if there was a quicker way
   to delete the posts to re-upload? There are currently over 1300 posts which amounts
   to about 70 pages of posts.

 * You can use phpmyadmin to delete the posts from the database. phpmyadmin can 
   usually be accessed from your host’s control panel.
 * You should only do this after backing up your database.
