    I'm not sure, but maybe it's because your default DB is the one you're trying to delete or you have HM open & you are using it ?

    But even if I'm wrong this procedure should work

    Open HM
    Change the default DB from the one you are trying to delete

    Close HM
    Open pgAdmin III
    Delete DB [do not delete the one named 'postgres']
    See bottom half of this FAQ - (the delete DB section)

    Please stop and restart the Postgresql service and try again as first thing after the restart.

    ok, it worked now, i just rebooted my pc and deleted the database before doing anything else. It seems that Pgadmin wouldnt let me delete the database after i opened/closed HM.
    thx for the responses
