Colin,

The bugs were https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796724 <https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796724> for MySQL/MariaDB and https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789594 <https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789594> for SQLite3.

What DB Engine are you using and do you get an error or is it just refusing to drop the existing DB?
