Uninstall MySQL (Ubuntu)

To delete MySQL, first run the following command to make sure it’s not running:

> sudo systemctl stop mysql

Then remove MySQL and any of its related packages:

> sudo apt remove --purge mysql-*

Remove the MySQL data directory, configuration file, and logs:

> sudo rm -rf /usr/bin/mysql /var/lib/mysql /etc/mysql /var/log/mysql

Remove any packages that were automatically installed because they were dependencies of MySQL:

> sudo apt-get autoremove

MySQL is now uninstalled.
