I have the same problem.
I've updated the remote host - I put in stoli.x10hosting.com so it ain't that.
I desperately need to set up a database to install my new CMS (sNews), but I'm at my limit. I no longer use Drupal, so I went to delete the database I created for Drupal... but nope, it just stays there.
Any help would be appreciated, cheers.
