Reset public_html to make way for a brand new OpenCart installation

Hello, all So my organization has a server dedicated for me to develop a brand new instance of an OpenCart website. The problem is that I had previously had to use this server for a different OpenCart project. Now we're thinking that installing a brand new OpenCart instance would probably be easier. I've deleted the databases that the previous OpenCart instance was using and now I'm moving on to the public_html/ folder. Which files/folders should I keep in there? My research has so far indicated that I should keep the following folders: .well-known folder .ftpquota file .php.ini file (the comments on this file say to keep it)

  I also forgot but they also say to leave the .cgi-bin folder

  You could create a new folder, move all the files/folders there so you can be sure if anything is still needed that can be restored. Alternatively you can ask them to re-create your account so you can start empty.

  Hello! Andrew's suggestions here are on point. Recreating the account would likely be easier than figuring out which files to keep. You could also create a new cPanel account and confirm which files exist in public_html by default. However, the directories you mentioned can be kept.

  I spoke with my hosts and here are the files and folders they suggested to keep: .well-known/ cgi-bin/ .user.ini php.ini
