MySQL error when deleting a database

from:http://blog.csdn.net/mydeman/article/details/6843398

As a result of the rude interruption of an import process on September 30, today found that MySQL could not start, and had to unload load (may be able to take some time to find the problem, but this came faster). Restart the import process, but there is a message that the database already exists. So I went to the command-line window to drop the database MyApp, but got the error 1010 (HY000): Error dropping database (can ' t rmdir './myapp ', errno:39) the error message.

Workaround : Delete all files under/var/lib/mysql/myapp and do not delete the MyApp itself. You can then drop the database from the command line.
