If I Deleted Everything on my Hosting Account...

[Alstertheonly]

So I want to delete every file.

 

Could I do this - I mean are there files there which keep my account running. Because I notice folders like 'access log'. Could I delete that - it has nothing in it.

 

I await a reply

No you can't delete access-logs. I wouldn't delete any folders or files that were on your site when you first opened it up. That includes all of the files and folders that were in your user directory.

What he said.

To put it mildly, the server will look for the folders and config files that came default with your account. Without them, many features won't work. For example, if you deleted public_html, your visitors would see nothing.

 

Even if a file was blank, it probably will be needed in the future as a template/placeholder/etc.
