Step 1. Log in to your WPX account

You can log in to your WPX account here.

Step 2. Navigate to your hosting plan

You can find your hosting service through the navigation menu or within your dashboard. Once you log in to your WPX account select My Services (1) → WordPress Hosting (2).

Step 3. Open phpMyAdmin

Now that you’re in the Hosting Panel, select the Databases (1) menu. Here you’ll see the name and size of the databases for each site on your account. Then click on the phpMyAdmin button (2) :

Step 4. Drop (delete) the content of the database

Once you press the phpMyAdmin button, you will be logged into your phpMyAdmin, where you can see all of the databases:

Select the database (1) that you want to delete and select the Check all box (2). After that choose the Drop option (3) from the drop-down menu:

Once you select the Drop option a new warning window will appear.

If you are sure that you want to delete the database, click on the Yes button. The content of the database will be deleted.

That’s it. You’ve successfully deleted the database.
