Fix The Fucking XAMPP MySQL

1. Copy all your tables folder and a file called ibdata1 from C:\xampp\mysql\data.
2. Reinstall xampp
3. Paste the folders and ibdata1 you just copied to the newly installed MySql folder.

Fix users table

Error Message from phpmyadmin:

Index for table 'db' is corrupt; try to repair it

1. Open terminal then cd to C:\xampp\mysql\bin, and run the following command to fix it.

.\mysqlcheck.exe -u root -r --database mysql --use-frm

Done

Now you just need to recreate your users, everything else is back.

Don't touch global_priv table inside mysql folder, I once touched, then it blew up again.
