If you have successfully shut down the old database, it should be possible to delete it even if the server is still running. A problem is that currenly, Derby doesn't have a way to avoid the database being rebooted by a clients trying to connect after you have shut the database down but befor eyou have had time to delete it. We did consider adding such a mechanism as part of DERBY-4447. Feel free to request such a feature with a new JIRA is you think it is useful. Dag
