I have the same problem, in short: 1. I created a database named, johann_ttrss 2. I deleted this database, johann_ttrss, on MySQL page in cpanel. (because not knowing InnoDB issue, and trying deleting and then recreating) 3. Try to recreate this database with the same name, johann_ttrss, but encountered already exists problem while this is no this database in MySQL page in cpanel. 4. When I navigated to phpmyadmin page, i finally find this already deleted database, namely, johann_ttrss. 5. After searching this forum, I found this post and followed what Moderators said in #4 (floor of this post), but encountered the same problem in #5. My question now is: How did you manage to operate on it according to #8? Can you help me? By the way, how to deal with the InnoDB problem? <p>And when i try to delete one exit database in terminal, i encountered the following message:</p> <p> </p> <div>mysql> drop database johann_tinyrss;</div> <div>ERROR 1010 (HY000): Error dropping database (can't rmdir './johann_tinyrss', errno: 39)</div> <div> </div> <div>Note: johann_tinyrss is another database that i create instead of johann_ttrss</div>
