You can still install Wordpress on that same database what wordpress will do is to create its own database tables. Configure your wordpress configuration file(wp-config.php) before uploading to your live server. In the config. File update the following details: define('DB_NAME', 'put your database name here'); define('DB_USER', 'username here'); define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password here'); define('DB_HOST', 'your host name here');//ask your webhost for this information the default is localhost but confirm. After editing this save it and up load it to its proper directory and run the installer eg www.yoursite.com/blog If you are installing wordpress to serve as a blog platform. If you are installing wordpress to build your whole site eg www.yoursite.com/ Once you've run the installer to login to your dashboard use the syntax www.yoursite.com/wp-admin or www.yoursite.com/blog/wp-admin Regards. dayoungmoney1: |

Log into cPanel Find the icon “MySQL Databases” and click on it Find the database you want to delete in the list of “Current Databases” and click “Delete Database” On the next screen, you’ll be prompted to confirm the deletion of the selected database. Make sure you are deleting the correct database and click “ Delete Database” http://askguyson.com |

If you have content stored in that database that is being used in your website, deleting it will affect those stuffs. But if you are using quick install to install wordpress just select/type the database and wordpress will just create its tables in that database dayoungmoney1: |
