Error in dropping a database in MySQL (can't rmdir '.\oro', errno: 41)

I can't delete a database from mysql. The error is like

ERROR 1010 (HY000): Error dropping database (can't rmdir '.\oro', errno: 41)

I tried to drop the database 'oro' using phpmyadmin and it also showing the same error message and alerts

"DROP DATABASE" statements are disabled.

Solution

  • In my case, I solved the problem by navigating to the folder:

    C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.6.12\data

    and remove the database folder which I was trying to drop. That's it.
