Deleting a Database in OracleDB for Azure is accomplished from the blade for the database you wish to delete. Each blade is slightly different and so are the database details, but the process is similar.

1. Go to the database blade for the database you wish to delete. The delete function is available on the blade for every database type.

2. You can also select the specific database you want to delete from the list. This will open the details for that specific database, as shown in the example below.

3. Select the Delete icon. If the Delete icon is not active, you have not selected a database, or you do not have permissions to delete that database.
   For Oracle MySQL HeatWave Cluster, if you enabled deletion protection for the HeatWave Cluster, you must disable this first in the settings for the database. Find the settings in the Management tab.
4. Confirm that you want to Delete the database by selecting the Yes button. If you do not wish to delete that database, select the No button.
5. The command to Delete the database will be submitted. The database details will update when the database has been deleted. Use the Refresh icon to see this.
6. For Oracle MySQL HeatWave Cluster, the HeatWave Cluster is automatically deleted if you delete the MySQL database system, but it can also be deleted on its own while the MySQL database system is running. You can delete the HeatWave Cluster on its own by selecting the HeatWave tab on the left menu bar, then selecting the Delete icon.
