Answer 1

If you are using an SQL script when you are creating your database and have any users created by your script, you need to drop them too. Lastly you need to flush the users; i.e., force MySQL to read the user's privileges again.

drop schema ;
-- Same as `drop database `

drop user ;
-- You may need to add a hostname e.g `drop user bob@localhost`

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Good luck!
