mysql in linux

Post by mary »

I installed mySQL a while ago, and would like to reinstall it so I can start from scratch again, I've tried reinstalling mySQL from synaptic, but it saves the configuration files, any ideas on how to completely get rid of it?

sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql

then you can re-install it.
