Deleting a MySQL database/user

You can delete MySQL 5 and MySQL 8 databases and users only through the MySQL Databases section of the hosting Control Panel.

Note: The MySQL 5 and MySQL 8 servers are separate and do not share databases or users, so if you have two databases or users for MySQL 5 and MySQL 8 with the same name and delete one of them, the other one will not be deleted.
