Answers.Body: <p>I know in Drupal all I can do inside it is turn it off - not uninstall it. When I want to uninstall it from a site, I do so manually - delete the folder where all the CiviCRM files are at, delete the database, delete the folder inside my files folder where all the log files and such are located. I've never used an automated process for it.</p>

Answers.Text: Thanks, Jenni.   All I see is the extracted folder.  If I do a system search for civicrm I get over 9000 hits.  I would like to delete them all!

Answers.Text: There's the extracted folder. You'll want to delete it. Then you'll need to also delete the folder where it keeps the logs and such. I don't know where you store files in WP. In Drupal it's /home/username/public_html/sites/default/files/civicrm

Body: <p>I downloaded and extracted CivicCRM for Wordpress, and now cannot do anything with it. I would like to uninstall and start again. Advice I find here has not helped... Why can't I find it in the control panel uninstall list? When I click on uninstall.php document I get a pop-up asking what program I want to use to open it. Many thanks. Steve</p>
