Cannot delete site content – keeps reappearing after reinstall

    I am new to WordPress so I practiced and tested the possibilities, built a test page. Now I want to build the real page so I wanted to completely remove WordPress and the test site that i built and reinstall WordPress to start a fresh site on my domain. So i did the following steps:
    1. Deleted all WP folders on my cPanel.
    2. Deleted all MySQL databases and users on cPanel.
    3. Removed WordPress installation on cPanel.
    After the cleaning I run a new WordPress installation on my cPanel and to my surprise the old site content came back.
    I repeated the deletion and reinstalling of WordPress many times, but still the content keeps coming back.
    Does the content somehow is saved on WordPress? Because I deleted everything on my side.
    How can a man delete a site completely and start a fresh clean WordPress site?

    No

    Are you installing manually or using an auto installer?

    I’m using an auto installer that is on my cPanel.

    It might be a long shot, but may be the auto installer is recreating the site, not creating a new one.
