I'm trying to clear out old databases on my PC (had them for past projects) and whenever I try and drop any of them, I get the following error:

#1010 - Error dropping database (can't rmdir '.\aroma_cafe', errno: 41)

It looks to me as if the system is attempting to delete a directory/folder that doesn't exist. Have you already removed it manually? It could be that each database is stored in a directory and a list of all databases in some other file.. so if you have gotten rid of that data, only the reference remains.

I think there are files within that directory that is not related to MySQL. One scenario might be, insufficient permissions. You might want to delete that directory from the filesystem.

Should do comment though.
