When you log into ftp you will see all the folder the server needs to maintain your account, the public_html folder is where all your site content is located. If you set your ftp program’s destination folder to public_html then you will only see the content available on the web. We recommend that customer set this up in their ftp program to avoid confusion and to avoid customers accidentally deleting the folders the server needs for functions on your account. If you delete everything in your public_html folder this will be your entire website. I recommend creating a backup up your account in the cpanel first so that if you have to restore any files you can do it through your account which is faster and free.
