drop is a ddl(data definition language)operation while delete is a dml(data manipulation language)operation. Drop deletes the table or schema from database. Delete removes the rows from the table usually according to a where clause but not necessarily, still the schema exists for that table.

Drop is used for deleting objects like table or database. Delete is used for deleting data from a table.
