Dropping server on pgadmin 4

Question

Let's say you have added a postgres cluster on pgadmin4.

Does using delete/drop actually drop the cluster? or it just drops from pgadmin4? and nothing happens to the actual cluster.

I am a superuser, so definitely don't want to try it.

I always have to be very careful while disconnecting the server.

I don't think it's even possible to remotely drop a cluster. Either the service runs on a machine or it doesn't, but it doesn't manage itself. — Bergi, Oct 17 '19 at 21:45

Yes, the Delete/Drop option will remove the server from the PgAdmin4 Server tree, but does not delete/drop any data or databases

"Delete/Drop" is arguably the _worst_ choice in naming a "remove from list" option in a database management tool. – Ricardo van den Broek Aug 20 '20 at 14:55
