No, they do not have to drop the charges, they just have to purge the warrant from the database. The warrant then could be re-entered at a later time.

No, they don't have to drop the charges. They have to purge the warrant from the interstate database, but if you get picked up back in the State where the charges lie, you can still be arrested and prosecuted.
To gomanyeyes..... sorry, you're wrong.
States OFTEN decline extradition, especially of people with minor charges, because they don't want to pay the costs of having the arrestee brought back from wherever he's been picked up.
The arresting State, on the other hand, is not allowed to refuse to hand someone over for extradition, unless he has a sentence to serve there first.

States are not allowed to decline extradition from other states. Under the US constitution, all interstate extradition requests must be honored. If a state doesn't cooperate, a federal judge can step in and order the person handed over.
