After deleting the database, the user will longer be able to perform actions on the SQL instance (login, view databases, etc.) when logging on through Management Studio. To fix this error, log on to your SQL server as another administrative user (like the “sa” account), and execute the following:

Clearing the SharePoint configuration cache can sometimes help alleviate these issues. To clear the configuration cache, you can follow the procedures outlined in KB939308.
