I have a website for my business and I have create few subdomains which are just blogs and not related to my business.Now these subdomains are getting traffic and ranking in google.

If i delete these subdoamins could my main domain rank better than now ?

Few more points I want to clear here :-

1-My main Domain content are unique and original.

2-Sub-domains are imported from free blogs. (means duplicate content but url is different from imported blog)

3-I have created all my backlinks for main domain (not for sub domains)

4-I did SEO of main domain . I did not do any seo of sub domains

    You wouldn't delete the sub-domains - you would do a 301 re-direct from the sub-domain to your main domain, to pass the link juice. (If you have any link juice on them)

    Only if you have sites linking to that sub-domain.

    A client had two subdomains configured in cPanel (UK and USA). They redirected to public_html/folder/uk and public_html/folder/usa.

    This worked fine, however, the client wanted to clean it up and place the UK and USA folders directly in public_html. Rather than edit the subdomains, he deleted them. This seemed to work OK (they are not listed in cPanel nor in WHM), but he cannot now re-add the subdomains. Instead there is an error:

    Googling this error brings up lots of people with similar issues. I checked the httpd.conf file and the subdomains are still listed there too under virtual hosts - I guess that cPanel has left a trail of data somewhere which is getting pulled into various config files.
