Hi joel19,

Wouldn't know why anyone would like to delete drupal but hey :p

Except removing the database, make sure you remove the drupal/ subdirectory on your webserver. Especially the .htaccess file, as this one enables the RewriteEngine and DocumentRoot and such, which makes your host try to handle everything through drupal. Deleting all drupal files should take care of business, unless you want to save it for later (hint: always backup before deleting...)

Hope this helps,

Is that the exact error message? Because if it is, I strongly doubt that this is a drupal problem idd.

All files of drupal are mostly* contained within a drupal/ subfolder, and if not, they include folders like:

modules/
files/
themes/
misc/
profiles/
scripts/
sites/
includes/

and some other txt and php files in the root.

Try removing everything from your public_html/ folder if possible (if no other files are there), and try again.
Did you use your site's installer for drupal rather than a manual install? Else, you may have to uninstall it on your site's cpanel or so.

Don't know if this helps,

You have a lot of files left behind. I suggest you delete ALL files except these three: _vti_inf.html, postinfo.html, and error_log; they have nothing to do with Drupal or Fantastico.

Edit: And also delete these three folders: misc, includes, and files.

Cheers,
Carey

I went to your site (technobitez.com) and could see your directory files. It seems to me that at this stage you could install any files, cms, etc. you choose (that work with your setup) at this point.

I am not an expect -- so your mileage may vary -- but your problem doesn't seem to be related to Drupal. Maybe your host has a certain configuration preventing you from installing another another cms - or something else has gone awry. I recommend you contact your hosting company for support.

Sorry if this doesn't seem very helpful.
