  • Just use an FTP utility and remove the files from the server. You will also want to get rid of the database associated with the installation.

  • yep thats basically all, the files and the database.
  • reuploading all the files again overwriting the old ones & in the installation screens at the database step just check "delete existing tables' also does the job right....
    and this is a way to avoid getting into phpMyAdmin to drop the existing tables inisde the database, or delete tha db & needing to recreate it (most ppl get scared by it... its UI is dam` ugly anyway )
