Hello all.
Excuse in advance for the question, maybe too simple...
This will be my first upgrade after the security advice I received. I am on Drupal 7.0. I have read in detail the instructions and I have a full backup in my hard disk now (local) I will do the same wit5h the database in a few moments. I understand correctly what they say to do (I guess).
A couple of questions
1) It is no the same if I upload ALL the content of the upgrade without deleting all folders before?
2) Any extra advise you have for newbie people in Drupal before doing with the upgrade?
Thanks in advance.

Read http://drupal.org/upgrade first.

Now that Earnie has told you the right way, which you should follow, I'll tell you that I am going to just drop the new release on top of the other. If I feel like it, I might back up the database first. Within a major version, I only delete folders if they make a point of telling me to do so.

Thank you Earnie and Nancy for the advice.
I read the Drupal documentation as well as the comments in the downloaded file.
I will do the upgrade now.
Thanks for the time
Have a great day.

It really depends on how your FTP access works.
IOW, be careful!

Backup first? (Always backup first!)
The database (mysqldump -p mydatabase > mydatabse.backup.sql) is one thing, but you really have to know how your cp /scp / ftp defaults for copying data files work within old files/directories.
Aside: I noticed this issue on Linux where a cp -R automatically overwrites directories as expected; but with the filezilla application, the default left old files in place.
Sometimes you want that behavior, but you always want to be aware of how and when it's happening.
BACKUP! :)
