Configure new installed WordPress in live server

i've just installed wordpress from my cpanel with hostgator. so this is the scenario:
my static html site was hosted here : www.mydomain.com and i installed wordpress in on same path now i am able to login to my dashboard and activate new theme but when i click visit website that takes me to same html version my question is how do i configure my site that instead of loading that html site it takes me to WordPress site for mydomain.com. if i remove files for html site will it automatically render WordPress site when i or do i need some configurations for this?
