Delete a database in phpMyAdmin

Question

By mistake, I have created a duplicate database in the phpMyAdmin page of cPanel. I want to delete this database, but I am not able to find any delete button in the UI.

Answer 1

You can follow uploaded images

Then select which database you want to delete

Answer 2

On phpMyAdmin 4.1.9:

database_name > Operations > Remove database

Answer 3

Taking a queue from michael's answer above, I was unable to find the DROP Database command on my phpMyAdmin console in the localhost.

Apparantly I was missing a setting. Go to config.inc.php file of the phpMyAdmin folder, and add this:

$cfg['AllowUserDropDatabase'] = true;

Save and restart the local server and the command appears inside the console.

Answer 4

Open the Terminal and run

 mysql -u root -p

Password is null or just enter your mysql password

Ater Just Run This Query

 DROP DATABASE DBname;

---

If you are using phpmyadmin then just run

 DROP DATABASE DBname;

Answer 5

The delete / drop option in operations is not present in my version.

Go to CPanel -> MySQLDatabase (icon next to PhPMyAdmin) -> check the DB to be delete -> delete.

Answer 6

select database on the left side. Then on the right-central top you can find Operations. In that go for remove database (DROP). That's all.
