mysql problem

I am using mySQL 3.23.33.

Once, I had backed up my entire var directory into var.bak, but I made the
mistake of putting that subdirectory in var ... so var/var.bak. Now,
var.bak shows up in the list of databases that I have. The var.bak
subdirectory is long gone, but I can't get rid of var.bak from my database
list. When I invoke "drop database var.bak;", I get an error "You have an
error in your sql ... near '.bak'". I don't know what to do about this, and
I need some help.

Thanks in advance.
