nico-t · 05-09-2005, 09:05 AM

when i got the script in lets say:

mydomain.com/script/

and i installed it and shit. When i dont need it anymore, can i just delete the /script folder to get rid of it?

You can delete the script but that won't delete the mysql db. You will need to do that via command line or via a helper script ie phpmyadmin

ah ok. Well, the script i wanna delete is a small script using the same db as another script. So i dont want to delete the db, only the script. And i guess the script wrote some tables or other stuff in the db, so i guess those particular tables will remain in the db, right?
When i wanna delete those its out of my league; i dont know much about mysql.

yea, only the tables would remain, if it's a small script it shouldn't effect anything in a negative way. I wouldn't worry about it.
