I have emptied my database after saving it and even created a new one using phpmyadmin, replaced the settings file and made the necessary changes to it, but when I try to install the site it says that it is already install led. The database is empty, anyone know what I am doing wrong?

ensure that the old settings.php is deleted before replacing. It's file protected which means you can't simply overwrite it.
still will not install
I have replaced the settings.php file with the default.settings.php, renamed it and gave it write permissions. When installing v6 the directions said to make some changes within the settings.php file, but in v7 the only thing I see is to make it writable, is that correct? If so, what could be the problem with the reinstall? I saved the db, removed all files except the sites folder and still get already installed warning. I have removed history and cookies from my browser as well. Any ideas?

there are no changes needed to a D7 settings.php file.
if the site isn't installing, what is happening? I've installed/deleted/re-installed multiple times without issue.
