I've recently installed 4.6 on our new host. Everything is up and running smoothly, but the site isnt 'live' yet. From the feedback I've been hearing, it would be a good idea to install 4.7 now and focus on development for this version.

My question is: Whats the procedure to remove all instances of Drupal 4.6, so that I can install 4.7 without any hiccups. As we have not added much into our 4.6 installation, I see a fresh install as a better choice than an upgrade.

Do I simply need to delete the MySQL database, remove all the Drupal files, and thats it?

All help is appreciated.

Basically yes, Drupal lies only in its files plus databases you may have created for it.

Beware that 4.7 is not production quality code yet, and the contrib modules are both fewer in number and less tested than their 4.6 counterparts. If you're specifically doing new coding and development, I would advise going with 4.7, but if you are mostly depending on contrib modules for functionality, 4.6 may still be a better option. In any case, always use the PHPTemplate theme engine.

I noticed that the PHPTemplate engine is not listed within the theme engines for release 4.7.

Can I simply use the 4.6 version of PHPTemplate with 4.7?

Thanks

you should have a directory /themes/engines/phptemplate included with any download or checkout of 4.7. If it isn't there you haven't gotten the whole package.
