2 Quick Question: Datafiles/Performance and Deleting a Database

1)

This may be a dumb question, but what is the proper procedure to delete a database? (I have three databases all using their own instance nad need to delete one of them)

2)
Will their be a significant performance difference between the following two configurations?

Config. 1

5 1gig datafiles on the same physcail disk (not contiguous on the disk)

Config 2

1 5gig datafile on the same physical disk
