When I update WordPress all three update, so I presume they are all used.
Sorry, that sounds a bit odd to hear all three database get updated.
Because If you know in the config file you define only single database for site.

Deepvyas,
Well WP Manager by Softaculous shows three installs and if I check the database settings they are different numbers.
So are two of the DBs just on the system, but not being used by the website?

-are you able to see the database settings in your website’s wp-config.php file? does the database name match one of the databases in your webhosting account?
-do the other 2 databases have any content in the tables that corresponds to your active website?
-if you are not sure how to find WP-config.php file, please contact your webhost support for specific instructions.
IMPORTANT: before deleting or combining any database(s) — be sure to create and save a complete backup copy of the all database(s).
Lisa,
Thanks.
wp-config shows:
/** MySQL database username */
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘bn9couk_wp124’);
wp124 runs right through from 2013 to today.
Other two only 2013-2015.
So as wp-config doesn’t mention other two databases I presume they can go.
Even with a complete backup of all DBs, still not sure easiest way to remove the surplus databases.
wp-config shows:
First, No need to share wp-config details here.
not sure easiest way to remove the surplus databases.
On your hosting login goto MySQL Databases and delete unused one from the list.
