I have a W2008 server - running Plesk 11 - unusual I know, but I needed some .net as well as some php sites.
Anyway, I'd setup a sub-domain of my main website - and installed Wordpress on it - to build a new site for a site I already hosted.
I set the subdomain to : http://wptest.mysite.com - and it pointed to a directory under my site root/wptest
Now that my client has approved the WP website under that domain - I want to repoint their existing domain to that same directory. I know I can do that.
To keep things clean however, I would really like to rename the file folder under my main domain to my clients domain name - and delete the sub-domain - to avoid any confusion later.
If I delete the sub-domain in Plesk - will it also delete the files within the directory it is pointing to?
Can I simply rename the folder (within Windows Explorer) and repoint my domain to that, and delete the subdomain from within plesk, without deleting my website?
Thanks for any advice.

It will delete your entire site if you delete the subdomain or change the name. This just happened to me this week. I had no idea it was because of wordpress.
