 * [FTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients) into your site (or use whatever
   file management application your host provides) & delete all WordPress files &
   folders.

 * Try asking your hosts for assistance. It sounds like you’re having problem with
   their 1-click installer rather than with WordPress itself.
