Confirming Your Decision to Delete a Database

When you delete a database, DB–Access displays a special menu that asks for confirmation before it deletes the database, as Figure 40 shows.

Figure 40. The DROP DATABASE Confirmation Menu
CONFIRM:      No  Yes
No, I do not want to drop it.

The default is No, which helps prevent deleting a database by mistake. If you want to delete the highlighted database, press the Y key or use the right arrow key to highlight Yes, and press RETURN. DB–Access deletes the database and all data that it contains. Be absolutely sure that you choose the correct database to delete.
