I was playing around with a MySQL program, and it created a few databases. I removed the application from the server, but how do I delete the databases it created? I don't want to remove other MySQL databases that are on my system, just the ones that this particular application created.

I thought you could only have one MySQL database on these hosting accounts.
If it is a "Table" you want to remove then you can do using the "drop" function from the MySQL Database option of the control panel.

You set it up on your own box, eh? Good deal. What are you running on it?
You can run mysqladmin and run direct administrative commands (DROP dbname, or the syntactically correct function if you've entered dbnames and usernames into a master table - see http://www.mysql.com and/or http://www.phpwizard.net for documentation on various things) to get rid of databases that you don't need (users, too).
