To remove a large table from MySQL, follow these steps:

  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.

  7. After the table is deleted, you should receive a confirmation message in the SQL editor.

  8. Verify that the table has been removed by refreshing the database schema or querying the list of tables in the database.
