database.

doesn't drop system extended stored procedures. Instead, the system administrator should deny EXECUTE
permission on the extended stored procedure to the public role.
sp_dropextendedproc
can't be executed inside a transaction.
Permissions
Only members of the sysadmin fixed server role can execute sp_dropextendedproc
.
Examples
The following example drops the xp_hello
extended stored procedure. This extended stored procedure must already exist, or the example returns an error message.
USE master;
GO
EXEC sp_dropextendedproc 'xp_hello';
