If nobody wants to use this means You can Detach it

That can do right right click on the database in SSMS Tasks->Detach. It might get an error like this Database is used by Another Application or something like that.

So you must take it offline before detach.
That can do like Right click database Task->take Offline. Now you can detach it.

Other wise if you wanna prevent it from using unauthorized person means you can simply implement SQL Server authentication.

Hope this will works for you.

You can not hide database you want to use. It is clear nonsense. What you need is access control. Start here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb510418(v=sql.105).aspx[^]
Please note, that administrators on the server machine have full access to all databases residing there.
