Do I have to do anything special to remove a cms from the server or can I just delete all the files?
Unistalling/Removing a CMS
You've gotta delete all files as well as possible database tables that could be created during the installation (if you used a mysql based cms).
However, sometimes when I delete the files and folders, especially folders, I can't seemed to remove some of them. Do anyone knows how to solve it?
The error showed is something like "Directory is not empty", and the folder remains there.

Some CMS will create files under the UID of apache, making you unable to delete them. You will probably have to contact the host to delete them for you.
use a ftp client wich recursively deletes all files within the cms directory, delete the database, and set the file permissions to 755 for reuse

I've removed my old CMS and the new one is working fine! Anyone use Typo3? It was easy for me to install and set up. It seemed a bit complex too but the documentation for it is excellent.

I used to use mambo when I'm still a computer noob at the starting of the year but after I learnt more HTML, CSS and PHP I decided to code my website on my own.
