What are you after?

Depending on e setup, you can create a new site pointing to a new folder where the new version of the site would go.

So if I resume, the steps are:

- Delete the Web site in IIS
- Delete the application ( If it used just for that web site)
- Delete the Web site folder in WWWROOT
-Delete the logs

Is that correct?

Yes, but if the site included dlls deployed, they need to be. Unregistered, removed. Uninstalled.but you have to make sure the dlls deployed for one project which you might be removing, might be used by other projects on the server.

Removing things ......

There is different ways to achieve a fresh site/directory while retaining the ability to compare to ..

nit sure what you are trying to achieve,

certain changes, configuration adjustments will remain unless you have site implementation documents that you can reverse.
