Clean Slate with MYSQL

Okay, my configuration with MYSQL is completely borked.  How do I wipe out MYSQL's configuration, databases, etc, to get a clean slate without reinstalling my entire system?

Re: Clean Slate with MYSQL

Try removing /etc/my.conf (if you messed with it at all) and /var/lib/mysql. Then reinstall mysql and that should give you a clean start.

Good luck!
