Is it possible to drop a SQL database and recreate it with the same data?

Hello peeps,

I know a little about SQL but I am not super confident with it. I need to change the collation on an existing database but through my research I have found that if I change the collation setting that would on affect entries going forward. I did read that I could drop a database and recreate it but I am unsure if all the information would remain intact.

I have created a test instance far away from the live database (better safe than sorry) . How do I drop it? where does the data go? A little over my head with this one!
