Installed to wrong directory

    I intended to install WordPress into a sub-directory of a live website, where I could practice using it before showing it to the world.I missed something in the process and accidentally put it into the root directory, so it replaced my index.html with its index.php. I understand there is no way to easily uninstall WordPress, so I tried to delete all of the files and directories associated with it, as well as the database. I obviously missed something, because I still cannot get my original home page back. Can someone please tell me where to look or what file(s) I need to change to get the site back the way it was before my installation mistake. Thanks.

    I was able to resolve this issue with my hosting provider. I had in fact removed all of the WordPress files. I just didn’t notice that the script had renamed my index.html file, which is why it wasn’t showing up on the home page. Duh! Problem solved.
