# Delete a database

> Deletes a database. Only running, frozen or failed databases can be deleted. Team permission: `manage`.



## OpenAPI

````yaml /spec/dbaas.yaml delete /v1/databases/{databaseID}
openapi: 3.0.1
info:
  title: Databases
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >
    Create managed databases, connect to them, change their plans and

    settings, back them up and restore them, and read their metrics and

    events.


    Supported types: `mysql`, `mariadb`, `postgres`, `mongodb`, `redis`,

    `mssql`, `elasticsearch`, `rabbitmq` and `clickhouse`. Databases are

    created in one of your private networks (see Networks in Apps &

    Deployments).


    ## Connecting


    `GET /v1/databases/{databaseID}` returns the connection details:


    - **From apps in the same network:** `hostname` and `internalPort`.

    - **Over the public network** (if `publicNetwork` is on):
    `network.node.host`
      and `port`.
    - **Credentials:** `username` and `root_password`.


    ## Team permissions


    With `teamID`, each endpoint needs one of the database permissions it

    lists (`view`, `operate` or `manage`). A permission from your role or a

    resource permission on that database both count.
