PHPmyAdmin Default Databases
Delete the cdcol database; it is just a sample. For the other tables you mentioned, hide them from view by adding the following to config.inc.php.
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['hide_db']='^(information_schema|performance_schema|mysql|phpmyadmin|test|webauth)$';
Not all of those listed databases are phpMyAdmin
related. Some are required for MySQL to operate normally.

cdcol
Probably is for the cd collection sample database that comes with XAMPP
. webauth
is probably part of XAMPP
as well.
The only phpMyAdmin
related database (as you probably already guessed) is phpmyadmin
, you can delete it, but letting it be there would improve performance, and add more functionality to the phpMyAdmin
.
