If you wish to start afresh with cPanel, then it is a great way to reset the file manager, as it\u2019ll provide a clean and well-organized working area. Through this step-by-step guide, we\u2019ll explain the process of resetting the cPanel file manager:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simple Steps to Reset cPanel File Manager<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. First of all, log in to your cPanel. Look for the \u201cFile Manager\u201d option and select it. It\u2019ll list all the existing files and folders.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Still, several other hidden files can be located here.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Now, it is necessary to edit settings to see all the hidden files<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Head to the \u201cSettings\u201d option.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Tick the \u201cShow hidden files\u201d checkbox.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. The next step is to delete all the existing files and folders in order to start the reset process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Tick the \u201cSelect All\u201d option.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Then click the \u201cDelete\u201d button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. A popup to confirm deletion will open. If the recycle bin option is not required, then you can skip it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. Now confirm the deletion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  11. All the files and folders get deleted.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  12. After that, you\u2019re required to reload the page. Click on the \u201cReload\u201d option, and once you reload this page, you might see different folders labeled trash, cPanel, etc. These are used by cPanel for technical operations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  13. Next, you should upload the original or standard cPanel files and folders in order to reset the file manager. Moreover, once you upload the files, you\u2019ll be able to utilize WordPress or execute other websites on it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  14. At this point, click the \u201cUpload\u201d button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  15. Select the file you want to upload to and click “Open.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  16. Upload will be done<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  17. Again, reload the page.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  18. \u00a0Now extract the zip folder. No directory selection is required now; just put a slash.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  19. Click the “Extract” button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  20. It\u2019ll display the original files and folders of your cPanel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  21. Check if your public_html file is clickable; if it is, then you have done the reset process correctly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  22. Don\u2019t forget to delete the zip file once your task is finished.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
