How Do I Delete a Server in MySQL Workbench?

Published in MySQL 1 min read

You can't directly delete a server connection within MySQL Workbench. Instead, you need to remove it from your list of connections. Here's how:

  1. Open MySQL Workbench: Launch the application.
  2. Navigate to the Connections Tab: In the left sidebar, click on the "Connections" tab.
  3. Select the Server: Locate the server you want to remove from the list.
  4. Right-Click: Right-click on the server's entry.
  5. Choose "Remove Connection": From the context menu, select the "Remove Connection" option.
  6. Confirm Deletion: A confirmation dialog box will appear. Click "Yes" to confirm the removal.

The server connection will be removed from your list, and you can no longer connect to it using this particular connection entry.

Remember, deleting a server connection from MySQL Workbench doesn't delete the actual server or its data. It only removes the entry from your list of connections.
