I obviously from above have a user name 'carlos'@'localhost' & when I
try to delete him, I get the following:
mysql> drop user 'carlos'@'localhost';
ERROR 1396 (HY000): Operation DROP USER failed for 'carlos'@'localhost'
Can someone please help me understand why I am unable to remove this
user from MySQL?
Why don't you just say "Drop User carlos"?
Also are you logged in as root?
