To delete a foreign key constraint in Navicat, you can follow these steps:

- Expand the database in the object explorer on the left, and select the database that contains the table with the foreign key constraints to be deleted.
- Right-click on the table and choose the “Design Table” option.
- In the table design view, locate the column containing foreign key constraints.
- Right-click on the column and select the “Settings” option.
- Choose the “Foreign Key Constraints” tab in the pop-up dialog box.
- On this tab, you can see the existing foreign key constraints. Choose the foreign key constraint you want to delete.
