If you have installed the osCommerce and it is up and running then this directory is no longer required, so you should remove it for security, as someone could use it to wipe out your site.

how do i remove it?

Use your control panel provided by your host or an ftp program such as ws_ftp

 

Locate the directory and delete it or rename it and move it to a directory on the server that is not public access

i am unable to access this file via my host as they do not have a control panel, or public file maintenance area. I use Dreamweaver ultradev for maintenance, but I am not locating a folder under that name.

if using dreamweaver, you can delete the folder when you have selected the remote site, and it will be deleted.

the main part of the message to concentrate on is the end catalog/install

[warminspirations]

as i understand it the top folder is my 'home' folder. I don't see a 'content' folder under that folder. under the 'home' folder is "private, vti_bin, vti_cnf, vti_log, vti_pvt, vti_txt, C:, catalog, images, Site files, stats, and thats it. Where would I find the 'content' folder under 'home'?

[241]

look inside the catalog folder you should see a folder named install

[warminspirations]

I deleted the folder. GREAT! THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!

based upon the folders you listed, you are using front page, recommend you do not do that. use a text editor, phpedit, etc.
