Download a compatible database GUI tool. This will help you delete your database (DROP) as server updates might require you to do this. Also, you can view or edit the server data in the database.
A tested and recommended tool is DBeaver.

- Open DBeaver, click on the 'New Database Connection' icon on the top left.
