Using MS SQL Server 2008, in DELETE dialog with Close connection options, this is the generated script, I guess it is the best:

EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_delete_database_backuphistory @database_name = N'YOUR_DATABASE_NAME'
GO
USE [master]
GO
ALTER DATABASE [YOUR_DATABASE_NAME] SET  SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
GO
USE [master]
GO
/****** Object:  Database [YOUR_DATABASE_NAME]    Script Date: 01/08/2014 21:36:29 ******/
DROP DATABASE [YOUR_DATABASE_NAME]
GO
