== 2.4 Removing a database ==
In case there is a missing entry in a database set for CrocoBLAST, or you have a new version of some database which name is already in use, it might be useful to remove a database from CrocoBLAST. However, you should not that this action will not delete the database files, but only remove them from CrocoBLAST managing system. For deleting the database files (which can save you a significant amount of hard disk space), you should check its location and manually delete the corresponding database files.

# <code>crocoblast -remove_database '''nucleotide''' <span style="color:blue">database_name</span></code>
# <code>crocoblast -remove_database '''protein''' <span style="color:blue">database_name</span></code>

In case you accidentally removed a database by mistake, do not worry: as CrocoBLAST does not automatically delete the database files, you can re-add your database to CrocoBLAST with the commands in example 2.2.
