    What is the proper way of completely uninstall wordpress (and delete the corresponding site)?

    I am thinking of going to my hosting site and delete all the wordpress file and the database. Would that be all?

    For the control panel of my hosting site, I can find /home/think3x/www/www. Can/should I just delete everything from this directory? This is where I have subdirectories like wp-admin, wp-content, wp_includes, as well as other wp- files.

    Thanks in advance for any help/suggestion!

    Hi, @bloggerdave

    Yes, you are right. Deleting your files and your database is all you need to do.

    You might also think about some permanent redirection for users visiting the deleted site in the future (optional).

    Make sure to create a backup if you want to restore your site in the future.

    Hope this helps.
