your problem is because you have drupal installed in a subdirectory.
Remove all drupal files and folders from the subdirectory and put them directly in public root.
re
the files are already uploaded in the public root directory.
re
first i kept getting taken to my hosting sites page,
then it told me to delete my default.php file so i did, so now i get taken to index of drupal. 6-12 page.
god this is doing my head in.

It bewilders me that someone who is asking for help, argues against the method to fix, rather than just taking the time to understand and pay attention.
I'll try this one more time.
you uploaded and installed drupal in a SUBDIRECTORY.
thus your address is yoursite.com/drupal-6.12
drupal should have been intalled at yoursite.com, THUS it shouldn't be in a SUBDIRECTORY.
beyond that you are using Drupal 6.12 and should be using Drupal 6.13
my suggestion:
Delete your install
delete your database
start over with Drupal 6.13
when you extract the folder, DO NOT UPLOAD THE FOLDER.
upload the files and folders.
you are NOT looking at an index of "drupal" you are looking at the index of your public root which is showing you a single folder. That folder is where your drupal installation resides. The drupal-6.12 directory, when you click on that directory your drupal site is rendered in the browser, because it sees and reads drupal index.php file.
If you remove the SUBDIRECTORY drupal-6.12 from the equation, you will have what you want. Which is your site coming up at yoursite.com
re
ok i will try this thank you for your time.
