Thank you… I got impatient and deleted everything to include uninstalling WP then reloaded WP… Everything works now.
The reason I was still seeing the old website when editing was either a cache issue or WP just hadn’t caught up to my changes yet.
And the reason I was just seeing the directory listing in the other browsers was because I had in fact deleted the WP index.
But thank you for taking the time to answer my question.
