Question

I was alerted by my hosting provider that I exceed my 1000 table limit. I have a lot of databases and would like to delete more at once. Unfortunaltley they don\'t have a multis

Answer 1

If this happened on a MAC, the chances are you are not running within an administrator's account; you don't have permission to delete the directory.

1. In your finder menu bar click "go" and type the following: usr/local/mysql/data
2. Select/delete the directory with the same database you want to drop - you will likely get the dialog asking for the admin username and password to continue.
3. After you enter the admin credentials, the directory will be gone. Restart your session with the database and you will be good to go.

Hope this helps
