Could not create directory. /var/www/wordpress/wp-content/upgrade/terminally.tmp
Therefore I thought to myself. I will reinstall wordpress by terminal. I can not remove wordpress.
When I do
sudo apt-get purge wordpress
After changing directories to the file wordpress it says...
Reading state information... Done
Package 'wordpress' is not installed, so not removed
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 263 not upgraded.
I even tried doing
rm -R wordpress
I do not know what to do. Please help me remove wordpress.
Thanks,
Julia
Did you install Wordpress manually? If so, carefully copy and paste the following EXACTLY to your command line:
Code:
sudo rm -rf /var/www/wordpress
This will remove your wordpress files, but not your database. Be extremely careful, as a typo can make a mess of things.
