Have my old classic site online, and ready to publish my first elements site. What is best way to delete classic site without causing ghost pages when finally publishing new Elements site with hosting company. I seem to be at a standstill here. Suggestions appreciated. Many thanks… Bill ---

Why dont you set up a subdomain and load Elements site there. Check it over and what happy do a back up of Old site, delete all and upload new site to main domain? ---

Maybe not understanding- just go into the server - delete all Then publish new elements site… ---
