Sometimes, you may want to remove a third party piece of software that requires a database. It’s best practice to keep your account free of unused items such as databases. Removing a database is relatively simple using cPanel.

  1. Log into cPanel
  2. Find the icon “MySQL Databases” and click on it
  3. remove_db_1

  4. Find the database you want to delete in the list of “Current Databases” and click “Delete Database
  5. remove_db_2

  6. On the next screen, you’ll be prompted to confirm the deletion of the selected database. Make sure you are deleting the correct database and click “Delete Database
  7. remove_db_3
