If you’ve created a database user for a developer, third-party tool, or testing purposes and it’s no longer needed, you can remove it quickly through the WPX Control Panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Follow this step-by-step guide to safely delete a database user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1. Log in to your WPX account<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Begin by logging into your WPX account. You can do this by visiting the WPX login page<\/a>.\u200b<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2. Go to Control Panel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once logged in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Locate your hosting plan in the WPX client area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Click the Control Panel<\/strong> button next to the plan you wish to manage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    If you have more than five hosting plans of the same type (WordPress, Agency or WooCommerce), not all may appear on the homepage. Use the WordPress Hosting<\/strong>, Agency Hosting<\/strong> or WooCommerce Hosting<\/strong> tab in the left-hand menu to find your service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 3. Delete the database user<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    In the Control Panel:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Select the\u00a0Databases<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Click on the User List<\/strong> (it will have a number next to it indicating the number of users created for that specific database).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Click the Delete <\/strong>button next to the user you want to remove. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Be cautious when using the Delete<\/strong> buttons. There is one for the database user and another for the entire database. Double-check that you’re deleting the user<\/strong>, not the whole database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      After clicking the delete button, you\u2019ll see a confirmation pop-up asking if you’re sure you want to delete that database user. Click Delete DB User<\/strong> to confirm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      That’s it. You’ve successfully deleted a database user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
