Uninstall MySQL

[Dominique Descamps]

Dear,
I'm new in using MySQL on Windows (until now I've always worked with Oracle on UNIX).

I am working on the uninstall of a product which is based on a MySQL database.
In order to perform that uninstall, I already know that first I need to remove the database, and later on I need to uninstall the MySQL application.

In order to remove the database, I have already tried to perform a "drop database <Database_name> but that doesn't do it:
First my directory structure was the following:
C:\<base_directory>\mysql\data\<Database1_Name>
C:\<base_directory>\mysql\data\<Database2_Name>
C:\<base_directory>\mysql\data\<Database3_Name>
The directory "C:\<base_directory>\mysql\data" contains some files "ib_logfile0", "ib_logfile1", "ibdata1" and "<computername>.err".

After having executed "drop database "<Database_Name>" for all databases, and after having launched the uninstaller for MySQL application, the "C:\<base_directory>\mysql\data\<Database_Name>" directories are deleted but the mentioned files still remain.

Do you know what I can do in order to remove the mentioned files, either using the uninstaller, either using a MySQL command?
Thanks
