If You delete a table from wpDataTables list, it should also delete it from PHPMyAdmin. If it doesn't, You can go ahead and delete it, it will not cause any harm.
However, please note that the table name in PHPMyAdmin comes from MySQL table name for editing and if You're not sure what the table name was before You deleted it, You should check and note all the tables' names that You don't want to be deleted (see attachments).
Perfect answer. Some of the tables that I trashed from the wpDataTables list were also deleted from the view in phpMyAdmin and some were not. I'll take of the ones that weren't by deleting them manually in phpMyAdmin and I'll be careful to choose the right ones. Thank you Aleksandar.
If I delete an unneeded table at the Wordpress Dashboard should I delete it from the host in phpMyAdmin? Is there any harm in doing that?
