Deleting a table from a database with phpMyAdmin means dropping everything and anything inside the table, we will go through this in more detail with the video tutorial & demo below:
1. Sign in to an account in phpMyAdmin.
2. To delete a table from the database, select the table to be deleted at left side of the window. For this example, the tables that are available are “addresses” and “details.” Select the “addresses” link.
(The user will then be redirected to the addresses table wherein there are check boxes beside every field title. This allows the user to delete a specific field by ticking the check boxes and by clicking the delete button below. This is further discussed in a separate tutorial.)
3. To delete the entire table, click the “Drop” button or icon (the icon with a table and red “x” mark).
4. A small window will appear asking for table deletion confirmation, click “OK” to proceed. A message will appear saying that the table has been dropped from the database.
5. At the left side of the screen, click the “demo1234_members (1)” link. A page will then show that the addresses table does not exist in the database due to its absence in the file list.
6. To go back to the main menu, click the “Home” icon.
7. This concludes the table deletion video tutorial for phyMyAdmin.
