I have a 15mb forum on my account which i rarely use now. I would like to delete it. I installed it using fantastico and updated the versions manually. Can someone teach me how to delete my forum? 
How to delete something in cpanel?
can't you use the remove option from Fantastico (in the forum you installed you have the instalations you made).
It may not work since you upgraded it manually. but i think the other option is to wipe it out manually (through ftp or file manager). this would leave your instalation in Fantastico hung, but no real damage to your hosting.

Well, when I did something close to that, I just deleted the forum folder, then I deleted the databases. After that I went into Fantastico and then I went to the forum I installed. It usually says it cant be found. But, I just click the remove button and everything is fixed and gone.
I hope this helps.

There is a mysql page in your cpanel. On that page, there should be a delete button next to every database. Just be sure to choose the right database.

That seems like a phpbb database. Unless you have several phpBB forums installed, that is indeed the right one.
