Thread-topic: how to delete backend DB

Well found nothing In FAQ or the Admin guide

Found this old message in the ML
http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-software/200904/msg00005.html

Guess the way to do it is shutdown and delete the files

Hi

I am trying to delete a backend DB

Currently have 
dn: olcDatabase={-1}frontend,cn=config
dn: olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config
dn: olcDatabase={1}monitor,cn=config
dn: olcDatabase={2}bdb,cn=config

I would like to delete  olcDatabase={2}bdb,cn=config

I tried

ldapdelete -v "olcDatabase={2}bdb,cn=config"

note- I have ~/.ldaprc setup with URI & SAS_MECH

slapd will not let me do it ?  I know I can shut down slapd and remove the file. But I am wondering if there is a "proper" way to do it

Thanks
Alex
