drop-database

I want to delete some SQL Databases on my server, but I'm having problems. My login has the roles:

public
dbcreator
serveradmin

When I right click the database and hit Delete, it says that

Delete backup history failed for server 'MYSERVER' (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
Additional Information: The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'sp_delete_database_backuphistory'

How do I delete these databases?
