Hi,
I have recently removed a database from DB2 .
I had deleted a database in the past, but now when I go to recreate
it, I'm getting the message
"The database alias ___ already exists in either the local database
directory or system database directory"
I have checked the database, I have cataloged and uncataloged, and
when I list out the directories, the alias does not appear. But when I
try to recreate it, I get this message.
How do I locate the database alias and rename/remove it, once and for
all?
Thanks

Use the CLP (command line processor) to connect to the DB2 system, catalog the database (if not already done) and the drop it; then you should be done.
It seems that dropping the database from the command-center (gui tools) does not delete it from the disk while doing it from clp or using the command-line tools is okay.
hope it helps
