  Hi Elizabeth, You can take a backup of both the sites and update the database on the wp-config file with the respective user name and password.

  The route suggested by @Henry Carter is probably the easiest, you can also use the DB Map tool if you have WHM access - Database Map Tool | cPanel & WHM Documentation

  Hello, The databases should not get removed, no.

  If a site is installed using Softaculous, and then you uninstall it, using Softaculous, the database will be removed, AFAIK...
