Hi is there a way that a can reorganize my mysql database after deleting some items? e.g i had an item no. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. and then i deleted 2,6,9. Can the remaining items be rearranged in numerical order again?

You do not need to.
When you get to understand databases more you will see that in fact it can be dangerous, and you woudl not want to do it

Once you start linking tables together using these autoincrement id columns (Foreign keys) were you to change them after creation you would first have to check all the subordinate tables to change the linked rows.

Basically there is no need to do this and it can be dangerous to even consider it
