The default user database, `neo4j`, can be deleted.

If you want to delete it, first set another database as the default using the procedure link:{neo4j-docs-base-uri}/operations-manual/current/procedures/#procedure_dbms_setDefaultDatabase[`dbms.setDefaultDatabase]` (this must be done from the `system` database).
