title: Error Dropping Database (Can't rmdir '.test\', errno: 17)
body: <p>Basically, I was taught on how to create a root password using the "mysqladmin -u root -p password" command, this was done all through the windows command editor. Now, the next process was to display the default databases (info. schema, mysql and test) which was achieved by using "SHOW DATABASES;"</p>
  
  <p>But according to the book, we had to delete the redundant test file and the following error pops up: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Error Dropping Database (Can't rmdir '.test\', errno: 17)</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>The command put to use was <code>DROP DATABASE test;</code></p>
  
  <p>I am using MYSQL and PHPMYADMIN. Any help on how to drop the file with no errors? </p>
