How to make wordpress folder (/wordpress) redirect to /?

Question

I have my website setup with Wordpress in its own folder. The URL website.com/wordpress is currently a 404 (which makes sense since the page doesn't exist), but I want it to redirect back to the root.

I've tried using the Redirection plugin to setup the redirect, but it is still a 404.

Any ideas?

Wait, scratch my comment above. :/

1. Go to Admin -> Settings -> General
2. Ensure WordPress URL remains the same (e.g. example.com/wordpress)
3. Change Site URL to remove the subdirectory (e.g. example.com)
4. For good measure, go to Admin -> Settings -> Permalinks to flush your rewrite rules

That should be all you need.
