Database ‘Adventureworks ‘ already exists. (Msg 1801)

The “Database ‘AdventureWorks’ already exists. Choose a different database name.” error appears if the database with the same name already exists. For example, a user decided to create a new database backup with the following command:

CREATE DATABASE Adventureworks

If such a database already exists the SQL Server will show the following message:

Msg 1802, Level 16, State 4, Line 4
Database 'Adventureworks' already exists. Choose a different database name.

Everything that is needed to solve this problem is to choose another database name or delete the existing database.
