Hi all.
I'm trying to uninstall a wordpress blog completely, to reinstall it again.
I've searched everywhere for uninstallation tutorials and wouldve thought thered be a few more, but i did find this one:
How to Uninstall or Reinstall WordPress | Tips and Tricks
Im going for this:
But i dont have a clue what the guy is talking about when he says delete the WordPress database user and table.
I am dealing with phpMyAdmin, not cpanel, and I've never really dealt with Sql databases at all before.
Can anyone tell me how to find the "user and table" for Wordpress and delete them?
The wordpress database is called wp_reach, do i start there? And Is it simply a case of deleting everything inside the wp_reach section, because it also contains things that have names starting with dap (Digital Access Pass) aswell as with wp (for wordpress).
I think the DAP stuff can be replaced and added again if theres no way around moving it.
Ive tried to look but found no real guidance here, and the trouble is im a bit worried about just clicking around randomly because every post/article i have found has warned us newbies away from Sql databases. But if its only deleting some files and adding some files, I thought it could be my introduction to it.. or is it best to ask for help?
Thanks for the help in advance

How to Uninstall or Reinstall WordPress | Tips and Tricks
Im going for this:
Approach 1 (Full Clean Uninstall)
- Delete all your WordPress files and folders from the site (usually from your ‘public_html’ directory).
- Delete the WordPress database user and table (usual through ‘cPanel’ control panel if your site has ‘cPanel’)
- Now Install WordPress from the beginning like you did the first time and you are done (How to install WordPress).
