Moving wordpress from directory to root

Question

Hi

I have my wordpress in a folder, i updated the url options in the wordpress genereal settings to the root folder, i then copied all the files from the directory to the root.

I have not deleted the old directory yet!

When i go to log in, i can not do so, in the url it still says redirect to the old directoy.

What should i do, do i have to delete the ole directory?
