Moving wordpress site from subdomain to domain with 1 caveat

I already have wordpress installed in my root, but I haven't built anything on it. All these while I have been building on my subdomain, which is also using wordpress.

Now I have come to the conclusion to move everything I have from the subdomain to the root. Are there anything I should take note of? Should I remove the wordpress installation that is in my root?

I'm using cpanel @ hostgator

Remove the wordpress installation that is in your root directory, then copy all the files from the sub-domain's folder to your root directory. You should note that before moving the files, log into the existing Wordpress dashboard and under Settings -> General you need to change the URLs of your site first, otherwise you won't be able to log in once your site is moved. That's it.
