How do I erase the present website in order to start a new website on the same www. ? (When erasing "directories" in Sebsitex5 they are not erased on my www.website).

Thanks in advance :)

Hello Per,

It should be possible for you to delete all folders within the 'public' area of your webserver (sometimes referred to as 'public_html' or 'htdocs'), and you should be able to do this by using the 'Delete' button on the toolbar in Step 5.

However, if for some reason you are having difficulty then you could try downloading a free FTP client such as FileZilla.  Once logged in (with the same FTP details which you have used in Step 5 of X5) then you will be able to edit all files and folders on your webserver as easily as if you were dealing with items on your desktop.

Hope this helps...  let us know if you still have difficulty.

Kind regards,

Paul

Thanks - I will have a look at that. 

Suppose I want to get latest version of the website from my back up set - which files should I restore then?

Thanks again in advance :)
