The site tells you exactly what to do. It never said delete anything else.
%APPDATA%\Bitcoin
In that folder, there should be a wallet.dat file.
If you have currently no bitcoins in your wallet, you can just delete that file and replace it with your backup.

Yep
Never delete wallet.dat when some coins on it that would be bad...

He is just not an IT geek
don't shout We should help newbiees!
I'm all for helping but we literally repeated what the site said it's like he didn't even go there
maybe he just did not recon that there is a wallet.dat file hi guys thanks for the reply.
i found %appdata% - roaming etc. but im not sure how many, if any, .dat files to delete from this, before i drag in my backup file, and do a rescan.
i have tried a few methods, and every time i end up with the same result, all the .dat files have re-appeared, along with my backup file, and i have 0.00 btc/ltc.
my method is... close bitcoin/litecoin-qt, go to %appdata%, delete .dat files, drop backup.dat file in, and start with rescan.
thanks again. i hope you can put me right. Tim.

it's wallet.dat file
Main folder like : C:\Users\R05L1N\AppData\Roaming\BitcoinQt\wallet.dat <- and when you put your old one into it you must name it wallet.dat too to replace existing one.

He could not see folders if hidden. Roamingdata folder is hid by default.
It's in %APPDATA%\Bitcoin
