Hello,
I may have messed up, but I would like to delete the database in phpMyAdmin
that I named "test ",
I have test (0)
No tables were found in this database
so I want to delete it since it's empty
how
Configuration: Windows XP / Safari 534.24
--
please remember to mark it as resolved when it is the case or to say resolved when you can't!

hi; my response is a bit late but if it can be helpful, follow these steps carefully:
1: open your PhpMyAdmin
2: select the database in question
//be careful to check that it’s really the database you want to delete
3: In the top tabs (structure, sql, search, query,...), select the operations tab
4: Look for the link "Delete database (DROP)" in the fields that appear in front of you and click on it
5: (warning!!! this step is irreversible.)
A dialog box appears with a message like:
"You are about to DESTROY a database! Do you really want to perform: DROP DATABASE databaseName"
OK CANCEL
if you click OK, it’s done, the database is destroyed forever (which means you will never be able to recover it) unless you made a backup beforehand. So be cautious.
I hope I have been helpful.
