Starting Over

[c2s]

I want to start all over with a clean slate but want to be sure what is safe to delete from my home directory and what should be left.

I recommend leaving your home directory alone (except backups, if you made them, those are safe to delete). Most of the folders are system folders, and if you delete them, you'll find your account broken, typically beyond repair (you have to delete the whole thing and sign up again to fix that).

 

What you want to do is open the public_html folder, and delete everything inside except cgi-bin. Then go in cPanel, remove all addon and parked domains, remove all subdomains except for your main domain (if listed), under MySQL you should delete your users and drop your databases, and under email, delete your email accounts. Also check for unwanted FTP accounts.

 

Beyond that, we recommend just deleting your account and signing up again.

Thank you for the quick answer. That's why I wanted to ask before deleting. I didn't want to leave anything that wasn't needed wasting space, but didn't want to gork anything.
