Okay, imagine you have a big toy box filled with lots of toys. Now let's say you want to get rid of a specific toy that you don't like anymore and it is taking up too much space in the toy box. So what do you do? You take it out of the toy box and put it somewhere else, like in the garbage or in a donation bin.
Now let's apply this to computers. A database is like a big toy box filled with lots of information. And sometimes, just like with toys, we need to get rid of information that we no longer need or want. That's where the SQL command "DELETE" comes in.
When we use the DELETE command, we are telling the computer to find and remove specific information from the database that we no longer want or need. Just like taking the toy out of the toy box and putting it somewhere else, the DELETE command takes the information out of the database and puts it somewhere else, like in a trash bin or recycling bin.
So that's what the DELETE command does in SQL. It helps us get rid of information we no longer need from a database, just like how we get rid of toys we no longer want from a toy box.
