GoDaddy supposedly supports DotNetNuke.  I am getting an error below trying to delete a portal.  The _db_backups folder is auto setup by godaddy and I doubt we will be able to get them to change the permissions on this folder.  How can I get around this?  What are the steps to manually delete a portal?  Or give me direction to extend code to exlcude special folders from DeleteFilesRecursive?  I am using DNN 4.9

Error: Portals is currently unavailable.

I am not sure if I follow.  I have 7 portals setup with one DNN installation.  For some reason, portals 5 and 6 failed during setup or hanged.  I want to delete those two portals because I was able finally create the portal I wanted (assigned portal id 7).  I get the error above trying to delete portals 5 and 6.  You are saying to delete all files and folders inside the i.e. Portals/5 directory and then delete the Portals/5 directory?  I can use an ftp client to do that.  What about the database side of things.  Tables to update?  The root folder has write persmissions and inherits to all folders and files below.  Remember, we are talking godaddy here - not a lot of flexibility as far as configuration.
