Deleting Database

Deleting, Renaming, Or Moving A Database File:
A database that you create in Microsoft Access is considered a file just like any other files you are familiar with. This means you can delete it using the same usual process. From My Computer or Windows Explorer, right-click the file's icon and choose Delete, then confirm or cancel your intentions.

To rename or move a database file, you have to do it manually. Unfortunately, Microsoft Access unusually doesn't provide a Save As feature to save a database in a different name. The Save As menu only renames an object
