Hello experts!
Due to errors in one of the databases, I mistakenly deleted tables with the pma_ prefix. after that the mysql does not start.
Please help me get out of this hole, it's already 3 days. I don't want to reinstall xampp.

Thanks for advance!

Hi,

First you should look into your mysql_error.log file if there is a error message which help identifying the issue.
Normally a missing phpmyadmin database table should not prevent MariaDB from starting.
