The simple answer is to go to Tools | Options... | LibreOffice Base | 
Databases, select the relevant database, and click Delete. Note that 
this deletes only the *registration* of the relevant database, so it 
will no longer appear as available in the Mail Merge Wizard. This may 
be all you need.

But this doesn't affect the databases themselves, which appear to 
exist both as comma-separated value (.csv) and LibreOffice database 
(.odb) files. If you want to delete these, you need to find them, 
perhaps in the "database" folder in the user profile, in your default 
folder for saving files, or where you chose to save them. The above 
procedure will help indicate their whereabouts. Except for the 
extensions, they will all have the same file names.

I trust this helps.
