If you’ve installed WordPress through your Hostrago hosting account and now wish to remove it completely, you’ve come to the right place. In this guide, we’ll show you exactly how to delete WordPress in cPanel safely and efficiently.
Deleting a WordPress installation from cPanel might sound technical, but with Hostrago’s user-friendly control panel, the process is simple and quick. Whether you want to start a fresh website, fix a broken installation, or free up space, you can easily manage everything inside cPanel’s WordPress Manager.
Why You Might Need to Delete WordPress in cPanel
Before we dive into the steps, here are a few common reasons to delete your WordPress installation:
- You want to reinstall WordPress with a clean setup.
- You’re changing your domain or hosting plan.
- Your site has become corrupted or compromised.
- You’re simply testing WordPress and no longer need it.
Step 1: Login to Your cPanel Account
Start by logging in to your Hostrago cPanel account.
Step 2: Access the WordPress Management Tool
In the WordPress Management interface, you’ll see a list of all the websites installed under your hosting account.
Each site includes buttons like Login, Manage Users, and the current status (e.g., Up to date).
Click the dropdown arrow (as shown in the screenshot below) beside the website you want to remove.
Step 3: Select “Uninstall” Option
Once expanded, you’ll see multiple options such as Security Measures, Clone, Backup, Restore, Remove, and Uninstall.
To completely delete your WordPress installation, click on the Uninstall button highlighted in red.
Step 4: Confirm the Deletion
After confirming, cPanel will automatically:
- Remove all WordPress core files
- Delete the associated database
- Clean up configuration and backup files
Step 5: Verify Successful Removal
After the process completes, your selected WordPress installation will no longer appear in the WordPress Management list.
You can double-check by visiting your domain — it should no longer load the WordPress website.
To start fresh, you can now reinstall WordPress by clicking the Install button in the same WordPress Manager.
