      1) Launch mongo
      2) show dbs
      3) use <database name>
      4) db.dropDatabase()
      5) Go to step #2 to #4 until you have deleted all the ones you want
      6) exit mongo
      7) Launch mongo

      Something really interesting once the shell has opened:

      TurboMonkey:~ tito$ mongo
      MongoDB shell version: 2.4.4

      I have several databases listed:

      > show dbs
      13825aa067 (empty)
      78002fa14d (empty)
      89da4e1154 (empty)
      bd24985d6a (empty)
      befd1bcc5e (empty)
      developer 0.203125GB
      local 0.078125GB

      Except for developer and local, I remove them one by one like this:

      > use befd1bcc5e
      switched to db befd1bcc5e
      > db.dropDatabase()

      { "dropped" : "befd1bcc5e", "ok" : 1 }

      MongoDB reports something like this:

      Mon Sep 16 08:14:53.085 [conn7305] dropDatabase befd1bcc5e starting
      Mon Sep 16 08:14:53.089 [conn7305] removeJournalFiles
      Mon Sep 16 08:14:53.089 [conn7305] dropDatabase befd1bcc5e finished

      When I display all available databases, they're still reported:

      > show dbs
      13825aa067 (empty)
      78002fa14d (empty)
      89da4e1154 (empty)
      bd24985d6a (empty)
      befd1bcc5e (empty)
      developer 0.203125GB
      local 0.078125GB

      These UUID-looking databases won't die.
