How do I delete Mysql database ?

[Viss]

If I delete the email account that has my website attached to it will that delete the sql database information and If i recreate it again using the same username will it all start from scratch again ? The problem I am having is that I want to delete my webpage and start again but when I reinstall nuke all my info is still there ?? so Im figuring that this info is stored in mysql ? or my database ? How do I delete everything and start again ?

Viss,

I'm not sure what nuke is but I don't think deleting and recreating your email address will help removing the data from MySQL.

The db name and user name is taken from your phone account with Swiftel so it doesn't have much to do with the email account used for your web space.

What I would recommend is downloading phpMyAdmin. Install that on your website and using that tool, go and drop any of the tables in your database.

Good luck!

I am using phpmyadmin but what I have found is when I delete everything out of my directory when I reinstall its still all there for some reason. I will have a play with myadmin and see if I can drop the tables.

I have asked the sysadmin of the FTP server to reply to you.

Viss,

bjcox is correct, you will need to use some sort of administration interface (such as phpMyAdmin) that lets you drop the tables. PHPNuke may also store some data in files in your home directory, possibly above your web directory. You could try logging in using FTP, deleting everything, recreating your html directory and starting from scratch. Of course, if you have other files you want to keep then you need to be more selective about what you delete.

You were correct I used phpmyadmin to drop all the files and reinstalled now all is fine (except the forums dont work):( But I guess ill have to take that issue somwhere else. Thanks for your help
