The drop <table name> command can be used to drop a table in a database. You will first need to log into your MariaDB or mySQL server or configure passwordless authentication and then use the -e command line option and the user must have the Drop_priv.

You will probably want to first list the tables in the database. One option is to first use the use <database name> command and then issue the show tables command. In this example, the database named db001 will be used. 

use db001; show tables;

Or like this.

show db001.tables;

Something like this should be returned.

+------------------+
| Tables_in_db001  |
+------------------+
| table001         |
| table002         |
+------------------+

In this example, table002 is dropped.

drop table db001.table002;
