Updated: 28 September 2026 · Applies to: phpMyAdmin 5.2 in cPanel & WHM 138
Deleting (dropping) a table removes it and all its data from the database. It cannot be undone.
Steps
- Export the table first (see "How to export database table via phpMyAdmin in cPanel").
- Log in to cPanel (for example at
https://yourdomain.com:2083, or from the Ucartz client area). - Open Databases › phpMyAdmin and click the database in the left panel.
- Tick the table in the list.
- Under With selected, choose Drop.
- Check the query shown (
DROP TABLE ...) and click Yes.
Note: Only delete tables you are sure the application no longer uses; many plugins create their own tables. To remove only the data, choose Empty instead of Drop.
