getting rid of /wordpress in website name

Move your files to the root of your web directory. I don’t know about all this metropolis stuff. Or you could have a look at this.

Sounds simple but, I tryed doing that. Files in wp-admin refused to move. Said permission denied!

Or you could have a look at this.

I wanted to change from .com/wordpress to .com and while in WordPress Admin did this

WordPress (URL) https://neverspendadime.com/wordpress
Blog (URL) https://neverspendadime.com

Now, my site looks really weird. What did I do? How can I get everything back? When I FTP into my directory, everything is still there.

Thanks, figured it out by following the directions whooami said to look here.
