All right, so I've searched around and I did find a thread similar to what mine will be, but I still have a few questions.
I want to move my forum from "http://myforum.com/forum" to "http://myforum.com/"

Very helpful. But what do I change in the file manager? Anything? And the databases...or anywhere else. I know I'll have to kill the Wordpress stuff that's currently located in the URL I want to move my forum too.
I just want to be positive I get this right and not mess up my MyBB installation, since I'm somewhat of a newbie.
Thanks to anyone who gives advice.

Let's assume you're moving from /Upload to /Forum
ACP > Configuration > General Configuration
Old:
Board URL: http://yourforums.com/Upload
New:
Board URL: http://yourforums.com/Forum
Old:
Cookie Domain: .yourforums.com
New:
Cookie Domain: .yourforums.com
Old:
Cookie Path: /Upload
New:
Cookie Path: /Forum
Then save and move the files.
