Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to delete a database in cPanel:

  1. Login to cPanel: Go to your cPanel account and log in using your credentials.
  2. Navigate to “MySQL Databases”: Once logged in, scroll down or use the search bar to find the “MySQL Databases” option and click on it.
  3. Locate the Database: You’ll see a list of all the databases associated with your account. Find the database you want to delete from the list.
  4. Delete the Database: Look for the option to “Delete” or “Remove” next to the database name. Click on it.
  5. Confirm Deletion: cPanel will usually ask you to confirm the deletion. Confirm that you want to delete the database.
  6. Check for Associated Users: Sometimes, databases have associated users. If you’re prompted, you may need to decide whether to delete associated users as well.
