Drop user deletes all user information, while delete only deletes the user table. Other information, such as the information in the db table, still exists.
If you create a user with the minimum permission after the delete operation, the user will reuse the previous permissions.
Grant all on test. * to 'test' @ '%' identified by 'test ';
Delete from user where user = test;
