  I have been having some troubles with my WordPress blog. So I decided to delete all the files from my webspace and reinstall WordPress from scratch.

  When I had reloaded all of the files onto my webspace, I then ran the web address: http://www.rhyspippard.com/wp-admin/install.php

  To my surprise, I received the following error message:

  “You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear your old database tables first.”

  I would really like to know how I can delete these tables so that I can completely start again with my blog.

  Please help!

  Sorry. You’re in the wrong forum. You need to head over to http://wordpress.org/support We use different software here.
