To remove a table in Laravel, you can use the drop method on the schema builder. Here is an example of how you can use it:

1
Schema::drop('table_name');


This will drop the table_name table from the database.


You can also use the dropIfExists method to drop the table only if it exists:

1
Schema::dropIfExists('table_name');


Note that these methods will only work if you have the necessary permissions to alter the database schema.


If you want to drop multiple tables at once, you can pass an array of table names to the drop or dropIfExists method:

1
Schema::drop(['table_1', 'table_2', 'table_3']);


You can also use the drop method on a specific table to drop only certain columns:

1
2
3
Schema::table('table_name', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->dropColumn('column_name');
});


This will drop the column_name column from the table_name table. You can pass an array of column names to drop multiple columns at once.
