But what's the Solution Mate?

[Oya]

the solution starts with you telling me what you actually did and what you're trying to do

[Sahil_kr]

Then how can i really uninstall any Previous Version?

[Oya]

you're not supposed to uninstall a previous version of smf

if you're trying to upgrade, use the upgrade package

But any other method i can continue install?

[Alex' Manson]

...
the upgrade will not affect anything.. it will just make it install properly, do what Oya said.

[Sahil_kr]

Ya,done it!
It worked and one more q Assumption:If we remove the Domain from Cpanel,all the Uploaded Data is also gone with it na?

[Oya]

yes

but that isn't what is being asked of you!

[Alex' Manson]

i said the " database " not files.
what i am talking about is through phpmyadmin

[Sahil_kr]

yes

but that isn't what is being asked of you!

I told you that it was an Assumption!

[Alex' Manson]

just do what you are asked to, if you don't know what you are doing, it can be a serious problem.
so is this solved?
