How do you use dropping users with an example?

In MySQL, dropping a user is a straightforward process that involves using the DROP USER statement. This action removes the specified user accounts and revokes their privileges. It is important to ensure that you have the appropriate permissions to execute this command.

DROP USER 'username'@'hostname';

For example, if you want to drop a user named 'testUser' who connects from 'localhost', you would use the following command:

DROP USER 'testUser'@'localhost';

After executing this command, the user will be removed from the MySQL server along with any privileges associated with that account.
