Deleting a Database in cPanel is a straightforward process. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
1. Log in to cPanel
- Access your cPanel dashboard via your web hosting provider.
 - Use your login credentials (username and password).
 

2. Navigate to the DB Section
- Look for the DB section in the cPanel interface.
 - Click on MySQL Databases.
 

3. Locate the DB to Delete
- Scroll down to the Current DB section.
 - A list of your databases will be displayed.
 

4. Delete the DB
- Next to the DB you wish to delete, click the Delete button or link.
 - Confirm the deletion when prompted. (Some cPanel interfaces may display a warning before finalizing.)
 

5. Delete Associated Users (Optional)
- If desired, scroll to the Current Users section.
 - Delete users associated with the DB by clicking the Delete option next to the user account.
 
6. Verify the Deletion
- Go back to the Current DB section to ensure the database no longer appears on the list.
 
Caution
- Once deleted, the DB and its data cannot be recovered unless you have a backup.
 - Always back up the DB before deletion if it contains important information.
