Reset site to WP default state

    I updated my wordpress website and then received the below error.

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp() in /home2/rmiller/public_html/wp-blog-header.php on line 14

    And I cannot login to WordPress to see the dashboard.
    I tried following some advice from here to disable plugins etc and reupload some files but I think I have now really messed up my site, as I think I have deleted some files.

    Now I still cannot log in to see the WP dashboard and my disk data size is now over limit and I cannot receive any emails.

    Using FTP how do I get the site back to the very base with just WP installed with the default themes, so that I can add my own theme and create the site again?

    I think I need to delete files first?

    Any help please?

    Delete all your remote files by FTP and then reinstall/reupload WordPress. (BTW, this is a GREAT way to learn, by screwing things up and then learning from your mistakes. In theory, I should be a genius.)
