I set up a Drupal 6 site on my host, and I'm trying to remove it entirely to start over with a Drupal 5 site with Ubercart, but the 'sites' folder keeps coming back when I try to delete it. the default.settings.php and settings.php files are the only ones sticking around. How do I get rid of them?

They are never deleted because Drupal write-protects them automatically. So, you will need to change their permissions with your FTP program. Right-click on the settings.php file and chmod it to 666, and also right-click on its containing directory and chmod it to 777. Then you can delete them.

If that fails (in case your server doesn't let you chmod files owned by the server) then you will need to ask your host's tech support to delete them for you. Or you can make the server chmod the files by running a php script.
