    Dear Dp,

    I have recently creating my first "word press" blog after using blogger for many years. Cut a long story short, for some reason google webmaster has located a robot.txt file for my domain url yet I definitely never added one to my site.

    Questions 1, how did it get there?

    Question 2, Where are they stored and how to delete it?

    (I use filezilla so maybe that's the best way?)

    I look forward to your answers, no rubbish please just answer if you actually know. Naturally the first person who provides me a quality useful answer will definitely receive my rep point as they will certainly deserve it...

    If you need it, the url is http://www.bettersounds.org

    Sounds like it was christoph

    As it presently reads to disallow your sitemap then editing it or deleting it will mean your sitemap gets crawled

    There is some info from WordPress (about half way down the page) on robots.txt pages here >
