 * Hi
 * I installed the plugin without any problems but when I changed the ‘wp-content’
   folder name to something else, my website broke – which I was warned may have
   happened. Because I was locked out of the website then, I went to my Parallel
   Plesk panel to uninstall wordpress to then reinstall it but I found that after
   trying to uninstall wordpress, there were a bunch of files that still remained.
   I tried to delete them manually using FTP but they won’t. Now I can’t even install
   wordpress onto the domain.
 * Any thoughts?
 * Thanks

 * Hi,
 * You might want to make sure you have the correct permissions to delete the files.
   Your host can help you with this and removing the files.
 * Thanks,
 * Gerroald
