This must be staring me in the face, but don't see the command. How do I delete an unused Firebase DB from the Console in the new Firebase? And Google did not help with an answer, which is kind of a first.

Another way if you don't want to delete the project, and just the database, is to create a file on your computer empty.json like this:

{}

Then click on the ... and "Import JSON" Import JSON

Then "Browse" and upload your empty file: enter image description here

You overwrite your database with an empty JSON file, effectively "deleting" the old database.
