[SOLVED] How delete all databases or config with pacman of mysql
One question, when you do pacman -Rsn mysql, /var/lib/mysql should also be deleted or not? I think that would have to be some option to do so, or I do not know.
Thanks

/var/lib/mysql/ should be removed.
Is there anything in that directory?

The MySQL databases afaik.
If they are user-created, they have to be user-deleted as pacman doesn't touch such files.

Only files provided by the package will be removed: http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra … sql/files/
If the app creates some configuration file after you use it (the file is not there when you install the package), this file will not be removed.
