    MySQL Databases
    I'm cleaning up my website accounts. I use cPanel.

    I have a list of databases, some of which I'm sure I'm not using...

    Clearly I've not been smart about naming some of them...

    How can I verify what the databases are for?

    Yep, I'm a dummy. Am I making sense?

    Thanks :o

    Haha, I'm finding that out. I've spent the afternoon in phpMyAdmin rooting through the details hoping that something "rings a bell".

    No luck so far.

    I'll just have to be more careful in naming the databases in the future so that I know what they are when I have a brain fart later! :)

    There's most likely a bunch of defaults set up and then the production Db's you actually use.
    These ones will have different modified dates in the tables and should be larger.
