Basically what it says in the title field.
In the past, I believe, on the databases page you could click on the gear icon and there was a delete option which is no longer there. How do I do it now?

Hi,
Try the following,
1. Database Manager
In newer Odoo versions, the Delete option is hidden in the Database Manager for security reasons. To re-enable it, edit your odoo.conf file, set list_db = True, and define an admin_passwd. After restarting Odoo, go to http://<domain>:8069/web/database/manager, log in with the master password, and you’ll see the delete option again.
2. Command Line (PostgreSQL)
If you have server access, the safest method is to drop the database directly in PostgreSQL. Log in with sudo -u postgres psql, list databases using \l, and delete the target one with DROP DATABASE db_name;. This is irreversible, so double-check before executing.
3. Odoo Online / Odoo.sh
On Odoo Online (SaaS), you cannot delete databases yourself in Odoo — instead, go to your Odoo.com account → My Databases to archive or request deletion. On Odoo.sh, use the platform’s dashboard, which allows you to delete or restore databases safely.
For support from Odoo, connect with https://www.odoo.com/help.
Hope it helps
Hi,
Please try this method
1.Navigate to the database management page.
2.Find the database you want to delete.
3.Click the "Delete" button located next to the database name.
4.Enter the master password to confirm the action.
Unfortunately, the Delete option no longer appears to be there. If I click "Manage" next to the database I want to delete, and scroll down to the bottom it says
Delete Database
This action delete the database and close [sic] the subscription.
This makes it sound like I will delete my account along with the database, and I only want to delete one of my two databases and not my subscription and/or account!
Hi,
Thanks for clarifying. On Odoo.sh, the “Delete Database” button under Manage can indeed be confusing. It does not delete your Odoo.sh subscription or account — it only deletes the specific database you selected.
If you have multiple databases under the same subscription, only the chosen database will be removed; the others will remain active.
If you’re still unsure, I’d recommend contacting Odoo Support to confirm before proceeding, just to avoid any accidental deletion of the wrong environment.
Thanks to Anagha NK and Cybrosys for their responses. I can confirm that clicking "manage" from the gear icon next to the database I wanted to delete, and then scrolling down to the bottom where it says, somewhat confusingly
This action delete the database and close the subscription.
Does not delete your account, but only that specific database.
When I ask for support, I keep forgetting to mention that I'm using (I think?) the Odoo Enterprise (non-self hosted) version. Is this the same as Odoo.sh? What's the best way to refer to this to avoid confusion?
