Completely Remove MySQL?
Ive been struggling all day to try and get MySQL to work both from pacman and the download on their site so now i just want to remove all traces of it. As I believe the problem may lie in a broken previous installation. What is the best way to go about this? i have tried find -name mysql and deleted everything that came up but it still dosent work.
