Replace test project with final version?

Post by SocketPup » Sun May 26, 2024 7:44 pm

I have used Akeeba to publish a test version of my project with my webhost.
However, I am soon ready to publish the final version.

How do I properly remove the test project before installing the final version? I have made a lot of improvements in the final version (on Localhost), so just moving the test project within my webhost is not an option.

I assume I need to delete the database. But other than that, is it fine to just delete all the folders related to my project, or is there something else I need to do as well?

Delete all files from the folder and upload the copy.jpa file and the akeeba kickstart.php file during installation, you can clear the database or do it before installation.

Delete the folders/files and drop the database tables
