So we need solid script which will tack care of all this.
Please don’t forget to put Database name on parameter @DBNAME
USE master
GODECLARE @DBNAME VARCHAR(50)
SET @DBNAME = ‘TestDelete’
DECLARE @HoldSql VARCHAR(500)
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_delete_database_backuphistory @database_name = @DBNAME
SET @HoldSql = ‘ALTER DATABASE [‘ + @DBNAME + ‘] SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE’
EXECUTE (@HoldSql)
SET @HoldSql = ‘DROP DATABASE [‘ + @DBNAME + ‘]’
EXECUTE (@HoldSql)
Executing this query will Successfully drop Database without any error as shown below :
