Within a transaction-protected environment, what's the best way to
delete a database? Can I just delete the underlying file (assuming no
processes are using the environment)? Do I need to run db_recover on
the environment first? I'm not looking to truncate the database, the
database is no longer needed.

Thanks,

Mark

Mark,

Please see:

Using the remove method is the best way to delete a database.
