I was able to drop an unwanted one earlier from pgAdmin (pgAdmin II) when I was just testing the Access migration plug in.  Why is there a drop command available for databases if I can't do it from pgAdmin?

I attempt to delete (drop) a database and get the following message.

 

 

I am the only user. What do I have to do to delete an unwanted database?

Unfortunately you can't using pgAdmin (see http://www.pgadmin.org/pgadmin2.php?ContentID=9). The best way is to close pgAdmin and use psql on the server.
