    Upgrade by deleting old files/paths

    Having downloaded the latest vBulletin package and unzipped it to a folder, you must now prepare your web server to accept the updated files.

    There are two ways that this can be done.

    The first method involves overwriting all the files that were previously uploaded to your web server, while the second method involves deleting all the old files and directories, and then uploading the new scripts. In this tutorial we will use the overwrite method.
    What is the procedure for wiping out the existing files and structure? I imagine it would be delete all files while keeping a copy of config.php, uploading all files, re-uploading config.php, then running the upgrade script.

    How far off am I?

      Actually you will need to use the new 3.5.0 config.php file as its layout has changed
