Removing an Existing Database


 
The topic of this article is supported in its entirety by our customer support department.

If you are no longer using a MySQL database that you have previously created, you can remove it. It is best to remove any unneeded databases as soon as possible to save space in your account and prevent you from reaching MySQL database limits. You can delete a database from the OpenSourceHost Control Panel, which can be accessed by clicking “Control Panel” from the My Products tab of the customer manager at https://my.opensourcehost.com.

To remove a database with its contents:

  1. On your Home page, click Databases in the Services group.
  2. Select a check box corresponding to the database that you wish to remove.

    If the required check box appears grayed out, this means that this database is used by a site application and you can remove it only by deinstalling the respective application.

  3. Click Remove Selected. Confirm removal and click OK.
