Probably a silly question but how do I clear my databases?

I installed WP a few months back for a play, but now I'm trying to install it to a different location and i get this message:

Already Installed
You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear your old database tables first.

Hosting control panel > Database Name > Delete

Thanks.

If I mess about with this and then want to shift it from domain.com/dev/test/ to domain.com/blog/ is it possible to just move all the WP files to the new directory and change the URLs in the settings?

Just do this the opposite way round, works for me every time.

and when your database gets bigger, use this to import it:
