To drop (delete) a table in MySQL, you can use the DROP TABLE statement. 

Syntax:

DROP TABLE [IF EXISTS] table_name;

• table_name: The name of the table you want to drop.
• IF EXISTS: An optional clause that prevents an error from occurring if the table does not exist.

Example:

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS employees;

This statement will drop the table named employees if it exists. 

Important: Be very careful when using the DROP TABLE statement, as it permanently removes the table and all its data.
