    The output of the “script” icon on the drop screen, as suggested in the comments by Randolph Potter (this assumes that your database name is “test”):

    EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_delete_database_backuphistory @database_name = N'test'
GO
USE [master]
GO
ALTER DATABASE [test] SET  SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
GO
USE [master]
GO
/****** Object:  Database [test]    Script Date: 06/30/2010 09:12:29 ******/
DROP DATABASE [test]
GO
