Deleting Your Website

In order to delete your personal site, there are series of steps that need to be followed to return everything to its default settings.

The reason for using an FTP client is for ease of use and simplicity in changing permissions. The general steps needed to accomplish the deletion are shown below:

1. Connect to home (Central ID) folder
2. Delete public_html folder OR disbale site

We strongly suggest you use FileZilla as an FTP client but any FTP client with capabilities for SFTP will work. For more information on what FileZilla is read this.
