1. Connect to the MySQL server using a MySQL client like phpMyAdmin or MySQL Workbench.

2. Select the database that contains the large table you want to remove.

3. Click on the SQL tab or icon to open the SQL editor.

4. In the editor, type the following command to drop the table:

   DROP TABLE table_name;
   

   Replace table_name with the name of the table you want to delete.

5. Click on the Execute button or press Ctrl + Enter to run the command.

6. Wait for the table to be deleted. Depending on the table's size, it may take some time to complete.
