Removing Databases from Your Hosting Account
If you no longer need a database with your hosting account, you can delete it.
NOTE: If you remove a database from your hosting account you will not be able to recover the database by normal means. For this reason, you should make a backup of your database prior to removing it from your hosting account. You might incur a fee to have us restore your database for you. For more information, see Backing up and Restoring MySQL or MSSQL Databases.
