 * i installed wp on a subdomain; thing got a little messed up so i uninstalled 
   it; however the page is still up on my site; the links work, but I can’t log 
   in becuase the login.php file is not there. I downloaded a new copy of wp and
   tried to replace the login.php file – this didnt’ work either.
 * There are 3 photos on the page that I cannot even find in the files on my site–
   what the heck is with that?
 * How can i get access to the admin panel to delete this blog and start over?

 * Well you should be able to just delete the WordPress files with something like
   Filezilla FTP and then delete the MySQL database.

 * I have Fetch – an ftp program, but I cannot find the files to delete them – even
   the photos – I have opened every folder and cannot find them at all!
 * I’ve already delted the MySQL database – I don’t get why the rest of the stuff
   won’t go away.

 * I have a similar problem. I found that I could NOT add a folder, or access other
   folders, under my domain so that I could continue to use it for things other 
   than the wordpress blog.
 * That’s unacceptable. So I attempted to find a work around…and uninstall.
 * Nothing I’ve done will accomplish that. The blog still dominates the domain, 
   and will NOT go away.
 * Yes, I remembered to dump my cache.
 * What gives here? Having a domain shouldn’t dedicate the entire domain site to
   ONE thing only, the blog.
 * And why hasn’t this been resolved for the inquirer above. He must be fuming.

 * That’s crap.
    Who is your host? Did you do a manual install initially or did 
   you use some obscure “one-click” install?
 * I have installed and deleted tens (if not hundreds) of WP blogs, it never happened
   what you are describing.
