This section provides information about dropping(permanently deleting) a PDB from a CDB using EM Express.
Note:
Before you drop a PDB from its CDB:
The PDB that you want to drop must have been opened at least once.
The target host user must be the owner of the Oracle home that the CDB (that contains the PDB you want to drop) belongs to.
To drop a PDB from its CDB:
In EM Express, navigate to the Containers page for the CDB that contains the PDB that you want to drop.
For more information, see "Accessing the Containers Page."
In the Containers section of the Containers page, click the PDB that you want to drop, and then choose Drop from the Actions menu. The Drop wizard appears and advises you that the drop operation drops the resource plan directive associated with the PDB in the current active resource plan, and that the PDB is being closed with the Immediate option. By default, the datafiles for the PDB are also dropped.
Click OK.
The PDB is dropped. The Confirmation box appears and advises you that the PDB was dropped successfully. EM Express removes the PDB from the list of containers that appears in the Containers section on the Containers page.
