 * I am having a bit of trouble reinstalling WP in my root folder. I have deleted
   the original blog because I was having a problem with it that I couldn’t solve-
   posts were not showing up. I removed it via fantastico on my web host. The install
   page says that there is no currant installation, but it won’t let me install 
   a new one. When I try it says:
 * “The installation can not be completed:
 * – You cannot install more than one script in the root directory of a domain.”
   
   The root folder is empty. Will this resolve itself given time or is there something
   else I should do?

 * Did you remove the database, too – or only the WP files?
