Hello. I currently have a wordpress site hosted on a shared hosting, with full access to cpanel, phpmyadmin, ftp, ssh, admin panel. The hosting keeps daily backups for 10 days prior. How can I make the site unusable, so that even backup restore won't save it ?

Try clearing the MySQL database at port 3306, then initiate reinstall with

PHP Code


<?php 
/wp-admin/install.php 


You can't backup what doesn't exist.

I mean, the hosting has an archive of all the databases. They have them archived by name. For example, they have 'main_database' archived, which is used by the site. I can drop the tables, then you are suggesting to configure the site to use a new database 'secondary_database' ? The problem is that they also have files backup. They can restore the files to the previous state, where the site is using the original database 'main_database' and then restore that database.
