Found my sql database in WP root folder. May have accidentally uploaded with another file.

While manually downloading a BU with FTP today, I found a copy of my sql database in the root folder. The only way I think it could have gotten there is that I accidentally dragged it along with another file as an upload to the root folder.
I had been having some issues with my website so today I did a GoDaddy restore from 2 days ago, and a PhpMyAdmin download as well. Thus I have multiple copies locally of the database.
I presume I can delete the copy of the database that is in the root folder.
Any cautions or possible issues that might arise? Thanks.

Yes you should be able to safely delete the .SQL file from the root of the site.

Great! That seemed reasonable to me. When I started using WordPress, I knew about 5% of what was necessary even as a beginner.

I've learned exponentially since then—mostly by making mistakes—but may be cautious when "What happens if I do this?" blows things up. Thanks.
