If you get a customer who tries to add a MySQL database or restore a database with a . (period) mark in the name, the database will fail to be created, but under the customer's cPanel MySQL Databases, it will show up as a database. Clicking delete doesn't remove the database.
To delete this database, log into the server via SSH and run the following as root:
$ cd /var/cpanel/databases
$ nano -w customerusername.yaml
Then delete the line with the name of the broken database. Save and exit.
Optionally, you can run the following command to make sure it is working.
$ /usr/local/cpanel/bin/setupdbmap
